How do I follow a TwHistory reenactment?
There are three things you will need to do to follow a historical event on TwHistory.
- Sign up for a Twitter account
- Find an easy way to follow your tweets
- Follow the historical characters
Twitter Account
The first thing you will need to do is sign up for a Twitter account. This is free and easy. Just click here and follow the steps. Once you have an account, come back here and move on to step two!
Following Tweets
You can follow tweets by going to your twitter page, but we recommend using an extension that will make it even easier. If you are using FireFox as your browser, then a good tool is TwitterFox. Simply click on this link, click the ‘add to firefox’ button, and restart Firefox. You will now be able to follow your tweets by clicking on the lower-case ‘t’ in the lower right-hand corner of your browser. If you run into any problems, check out their handy how-to guide here.
We also recommend services such as Seesmic or TweetDeck. Both of these applications allow you to follow groups of friends. If you put all of the historical figures you are following in one column it becomes very easy to see what is transpiring in history.
Follow the Historical Figures
You’re almost there! After you have logged into Twitter, you will want to go to our reenactments page, and follow each of the historical figures. Simply click on each name, click the follow button, and their tweets will appear in your TwitterFox, as they are updated.
