Twitter 101

I did my homework already. This is how I did Direct Messages (DM):

On the your Twitter page go to the Right Sidebar
Click on Direct Messages
Screen shows SEND with a drop down box
Click on the name you want from the drop down box
Type message
Hit send

To import people from your email list, this is what I did:

On the top bar of the Twitter page, click Find People
On the next screen, click Find Friends
Go to your server (shown to the left) and click on it (mine is Gmail)
Type in your password in the space that says Password
Click Find Friends
A screen will show your email addresses that are on Twitter
Click on each individual Follow box or Follow All box - Requests to follow will be sent to those people.

Now, that wasn't all that difficult, was it?

You can change your Twitter background:

Sign into Twitter and click Settings (top right menu bar)
The Settings page opens
In the Design Tab, select a premade background or use your own image (Click Change Background Image) link below pattern images. Then upload a file by clicking the Browse button and finding your image on your computer.

You can even Tile the background, change colors, or tile your company logo. But, hey, we are just learning, so let's just try changing the background. I will meet you back here when you are done!
