Twitter working

Thanks to Andrea, twitter texting is up and running. Bonus participation points for her!

If you would like to receive updates about the challenge as texts to your cell phone, you will need to have a twitter account. I promise, you never actually have to "tweet", but having the account will get you the texts.

Here's how: First, you have to set up a twitter account. It's easy. Go to the twitter page and follow the Get Started-Join! prompts. Once you have the account, go to Home on the twitter page. Type in "janabumc" in the search box in the right hand column.

Don't go to "find people." This is where we were messing up.



Once you find janabumc, click on the name and then click follow.

That gets your twitter set up and following Jana. To add your cell phone for the text updates, you need to go to "devices" under the settings menu.

It all sounds very confusing, but it isn't too bad. Leave a comment if you are having trouble or if you are successful.

we are having some technical issues with twitter...I'll post when I fix the problem.-Jana

Welcome to the 30 Day Spiritual Challenge!
This will be only as meaningful as you make it by participating, commenting and responding. Please be respectful of opinions, but don't be afraid to voice a difference of opinion or to agree with what others are saying.

There are 3 options to help you participate and interact. You may choose to do one, two or all three.
  1. You can simply check in here, at the blog, everyday and read the new entry. Creating a Google Account will make it easier to comment and for people to keep track of who you are. (If you do not choose to do this, please remember to sign all posts.)
  2. FaceBook users: Friend Jana and have access to the Spiritual Challenge event page.
  3. Have a cell phone? Join twitter and sync your cell phone to it. By following Jana (janabumc) you'll get daily tweets via text messaging.

All these tasks can be accomplished at the Kick Off Party tonight at church, beginning at 6 pm.


(Just for fun, you can earn points for posting responses and various other things as listed in each day's entry.)
