USING TWITLONGER
As our current members are aware, we require a full biography of your character in Twitlonger or an alternative platform. We're increasingly being asked how this website works, though it is an incredibly straightforward website to use. We have decided to make a quick "How To" guide for the website in the event that anyone is having difficulties using it. Unless the website is down, there is absolutely no reason why Twitlonger would not be available for every member to use.
Things to remember:
In the rare occurrence that the Twitlonger site is down and you cannot wait until it refreshes to write out your Twitlonger, there are alternatives available as follows:
TinyPaste (link)
JumboTweet (link)
TwiShort (link)
Twinormous (link)
- Make sure you are logged into to the main twitter site with the account you wish to post from.
- Go to Twitlonger (www.twitlonger.com)
- On the homepage it gives the option to sign in to Twitlonger to get started. You do not need to make an account with Twitlonger. Twitlonger logs in with your twitter account. Select "Sign in with Twitter".
- You will then have to authorize the Twitlonger site to have access to your Twitter account. To do so, you enter your @ name and the password to your Twitter account, then click "Authorize app".
- Then, you're good to go! Enter the title and then your post.
Things to remember:
- Twitlonger DOES NOT save drafts. If you exit the page while typing, you will lose the post.
- Once you post the Twitlonger, this immediately appears as a tweet from the account it is logged into. If you have multiple accounts, always double check which account you are posting from.
- You DO NOT have to make an account with Twitlonger. It logs in with your Twitter account. Yes, we are stating this twice because we are given the excuse of "I don't have a login" far too often.
