WordCamp US is this week! Can you believe it? You’ve decided which sessions to attend. You’ve dressed warmly to embrace the chilly weather. And you’ve thought about what you want to do for Contributor Day. You’re ready!
All that’s left is letting everyone know that you’re here! A common trend when attending a conference is to update your Twitter display name to include a note about where you are. I changed mine to “David Needham @ #WCUS 🎃“, but feel free to do your own thing.
There are a few good reasons for this. First, when someone searches for “WCUS” on Twitter (like this screenshot to the right), they’ll find your name. This will help your friends know that you are actually out there somewhere in the sea of people at WCUS.
Not sure how to edit your display name?
Visit your Twitter profile and follow these step-by-step directions:
1. Click on the “Edit profile” button to the right.
2. Amend #WCUS to your name.
3. Click on the “Save” button.
4. Tell all of your friends!
And that’s it. We look forward to seeing you this week!
