Just tried to reply to a couple of tweets and it won't let me. From a particular organisation.

Could they have blocked me?

Yup

inappropriatelyemployed · 26/06/2013 18:32

Little sods - anyone else want to reply to them.

lol,

IE I'm not ignoring your requests for help/content/articles etc. I'm racing the clock, will be on the move over the next couple of weeks and also hosting so it's all a bit crazy. Also, when I've jotted down stuff, it is easy enough to recall, but not to articulate because it makes me so fecking angry. I WILL help, but have to kinda look after myself too.

I want to sign up to help. Do I have to use my real name?
Is there a crash course how it works somewhere?

StarlightMcKenzie · 26/06/2013 19:11

I'm really struggling. I appear to be StarlightMcKenzie though no idea how that happened.

Still the world and his LA mates seem to know who I am so I don't suppose it matters.

babiki · 26/06/2013 19:34

I've tried but can't do it... Have to get somebody to show it to me.

inappropriatelyemployed · 26/06/2013 19:34

Star that is fine. I know you are there and will help! Ta for the tweets!

Guys - You can change your name on your profile by editing it.

I'm registered under different name... Managed to Wright stuff but cannot see the replies... What is retweet?
God I feel old :)

I am a real beginner. Only started about a month ago but got lots of tips here.

Basically if you see a post you like and want to share with your followers you can press retweet under it.

If someone wants you to retweet they will write RT or pls RT or some variation and again you can press retweet underneath it.

If you want to tweet on a topic you can use # so you can tweet and put #SEN and then anyone looking for SEN stuff will see it,

If you want to get the attention of someone you can tweet at the using their name @whatever....

Thanks, I'm going to try it on laptop rather than phone.
Is your name secret there?

inappropriatelyemployed · 26/06/2013 20:34

What my twitter name or your name when you post?

OP posts:
babiki · 26/06/2013 20:38

your twitter name so I can practice :)

babiki · 26/06/2013 20:39

Why cannot I see any replies to the Wright Stuff..

inappropriatelyemployed · 26/06/2013 20:47

PM me so as not to out myself completely!

I couldn't see either,

OP posts:
StarlightMcKenzie · 26/06/2013 21:04

Still not really getting it. Seemed to have randomly come across some people who go to SEN meetings with MPs and so sent them a link to the CFB submission asking if they have seen/read it.

No idea if that is the right thing to do, and they probably think I'm nuts from my name.

TOWIELA · 26/06/2013 21:28

Hmmm - this statement on their home page puts me right off!

"In Control's Children's programme started in 2007. Over one third of English local authorities are now members "

They started SIX years ago!!!! And local authorities are members Shock

StarlightMcKenzie · 26/06/2013 21:36

LOL.

Never mind. Have you read the responses to the questionnaire? It's miserable.......

babiki · 26/06/2013 21:40

Star I saw you tweeting and I think you are doing everything fine!

How one goes about finding followers is a difficult business (at least in my case!)

StarlightMcKenzie · 26/06/2013 21:57

Find some with hardly any and they'll probably follow you back Grin

Not much use though I don't suppose but at least you don't look lonely......

babiki · 26/06/2013 22:05

haha, will work on it!
