“Danelle Ice is a Mom I’d Like to Tweet (MILT)” – Thanks for the compliment!

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about doing a photo shoot for MILT shirts (Mom I’d Like to Tweet).  You can click that link to go watch the video I made about the photo shoot.  MILT is a reference to all the cool mommy bloggers using Twitter now.

The 3 ads are finally ready and our readers are the first to see them – they haven’t even been released yet!  The photos came out better than I even could have hoped.  There’s one at left and the other 2 are below in this article. 

I model their shirts because:

• The MILT shirts are funny and cute.
• Pink shirts rule (it’s my signature color).
• I love original ideas, and this one is pretty bodacious.
• Their line is available in maternity sizes/styles. How’s that for a rockin’ mommy-friendly company?!

You can buy your MILT shirt at MILTshirts.com.  The Mom I’d like to Tweet shirts do come in colors other than pink (they also have men’s shirts).

What do you guys think of the photos?

Have you ever wondered why some people’s names look like this on twitter:

@homeeverafter

Instead of looking like this:

@HomeEverAfter  ?

For a long time my username was all lowercase because I didn’t know the way to change it.  When I signed up for twitter, I put my username in with all lowercase letters out of habit more than anything else. Soon, I began seeing people who had capitalized their names, and they looked much easier to read than mine. 

I wanted to capitalize my username, and I knew it was possible because I saw others who had done it.  I didn’t want to look silly for asking, in case it was a really easy solution!  One day, I finally asked a man who had a regular looking capitalized name how he changed it, and he wouldn’t tell me…

We’d like to spare you the curiosity, wonderment (and possible snubbing by the guy who wouldn’t share the knowledge) by bringing you this quick and easy tip for how to capitalize your name on twitter!

How To Capitalize Your User Name on Twitter

If you registered your account at twitter with the name in all lowercase letters, you CAN change the capitalization without losing any of your followers or tweets.  Here’s how:

1. Login to your twitter account.
2. Click the “Settings” link on the top right toolbar.
3. You should now be on the “Account” tab.
4. The second box from the top says “Username”, and in it you’ll find your unique twitter username that identifies your twitter stream.
5. Click inside the box and change the letters you want to be in uppercase to capital letters.
6. Make sure not to change the spelling of your username or add characters or take away characters.

There you have it!  A quick and easy way to capitalize your username on twitter.  As long as you don’t spell your username differently or change it to add or subtract letters, your followers and tweets will remain unchanged.

If you found this tip useful, look for more upcoming tech how-to articles on Twitter, Blogger, WordPress, gadgets, and more in our new Mommy Tech Department.  Now go ahead- go change your username in the settings.  Then come back here and leave a link to your twitter name in the comments so people can find you.
