Changing Your Twitter Name {Tweet Me Tuesday}

Yeah…I said it.  You can change your Twitter name if one day you wake up and decide it just isn’t for you any more.  How about them apples?!

OK, so-I didn’t even know about it until @lindatweetsalot told me lol.  She changed her name and I noticed and asked about it.  For me the logical assumption was that you just couldn’t do that!! I do advise that if you’re going to change your name you tweet first (and afterward) to let people know.  Not everyone will see it-but it helps a little.  I also advise you not to change your picture right away.  Many people will scan by picture and if you come up in their stream with an unfamiliar name AND picture you may find yourself being removed from the list of people they are following! I also took the precaution of putting “formerly @handshouseheart” in my profile for now.  That way if someone looks and doesn’t know who I am it gives them a clue as to how I got in their stream!

Now-on to the “tutorial”.  As always click to make the pictures bigger.

Click "Settings" at the top right of your screen.

Change your Twitter name (and e-mail if applicable)

Click "Save"

You may have to re-enter your password. They may also send you an e-mail to confirm the changes.

If they send you an e-mail to confirm be sure you confirm your changes!! It’s as easy as that!  Works well if you’re changing the direction/rebranding or started out using your full name and want to start using something else.
