Having a Twitter Fit

I finally had to cancel my Twitter account and get rid of the @DayDreamCrafts profile that I've used for well more than a year.

The account had become so compromised and so corrupted that it was impossible to use. It wouldn't allow me to make updates to the way it looked, change colors, information or images. Some days, it refused to do anything. It just sat there like a sullen child refusing to move. It wouldn't even let me block those nasty porn or teeth-whitening followers.

I had none of these problems with other Twitter accounts that I manage, just this one, my largest, my own.

Sadly, away it went. @DayDreamCrafts was so clogged with technical problems that I couldn't open and print my list of followers. I lost them when I deleted the account. They're gone. Don't ask about Twitter's Customer Support; there isn't any other than a lot of Frequently Asked Questions crap.

So now I'm starting over. I'm newly tweeting as @DayDreamCraft. Craft, singular. No S on the end. Go to www.twitter.com/DayDreamCraft and follow me. Please, do follow me. I had more than 700 followers and close to 500 whom I followed and I miss most of them. We exchanged funny, useful, poignant information about the life and work of artists, quilters, crafters, wine lovers, world travelers.

I'm slowly finding my old Twitter friends and re-following them, hoping they'll do the same with me. But it's a slow process. If you're on Twitter, please let others know where to find me.
