Rebranding your WDM online pages and email

This guide aims to cover the majority of the online presence that might be branded as WDM still. These should be changed to your new name (mostly likely Global Justice Something) by 15 January.

It attempts to cover the majority of online pages you might have, but might not cover everything so if you’re not sure about anything please contact Corin Pearce corin.pearce@.uk.

Websites

The main website .uk will change to .uk. A brand new site will be launching before that but the new address is currently working

The Groups websites that WDM host (the ones that start ) will be rebranded by 15 January with the new logo. The URLs will change to from to , where xxx is your group name. For example, will become . The old URLs should continue to work however.

They will still use WordPress, so you should not see any difference when you log on to edit your site.

If you own your own site, i.e. one that doesn’t begin groups..uk, then you will have to change the logo yourself. Please contact us if you need any help with this. If you have your own URL and want to change it, then you’ll need to get a new URL and probably redirect the old URL to the new one. Your hosting provider can help with this.

Twitter

There are two things you might want to change – your public profile (which includes the name of your Twitter page, your logo, description and website address) and your username, which is the @ name that people use in your tweets.

Your Twitter profile

Your profile consists of your page name, description, website address and logo. You can easily change all of these by clicking “Edit profile” on your homepage:

When you click this button you go into edit mode, and the screen changes so you can edit your profile.

1. Change your page name

Your page name is not the @username that you see in tweets. It’s the descriptive name of your page and is only seen when people visit your profile. In the screenshot above you can see it’s set as “World Development” for the central office’s account. We’ll be changing this to “Global Justice Now” on 15 January.

It can be up to 20 characters long, including spaces.

2. Change your profile logo

While in edit mode, Simply click “Change your profile photo” and then click “Upload photo”. We’ve included a suggested logo for you to use, but feel free to add your own. Once you’ve uploaded it, click Save changes.

3. Change your profile description

This is also a good time to change your description. In the same way as above, you can edit the text below . You can also edit your website address if necessary.

Your Twitter username

This is the name that everyone calls you on Twitter – it’s the bit after @. For example Global Justice Now’s is @GlobalJusticeUK. If you want to rename this, note that you only have up to 15 characters to play with (and no spaces). Also note that you’ll need to make sure that anyone who is tweeting about you uses this new name, and not the old one.

Once you’ve decided what to change it to, log into Twitter and click the “Profile and settings” button next to the Tweet button in the toolbar. The button looks like your logo. A menu will pop out: hover over “Settings” and click.

In the new Account screen that appears, enter your new username in the “Username” box and click Save changes. Note that if the username is already taken, it won’t accept it.

Note 1: once you change your username, you have to make sure everyone knows to use it! If they refer to you with the old username, for example @wdmuk instead of @globaljusticeuk, then they are referring to a different person and you won’t be notified. And anyone clicking on the name won’t see anything, or will see a different profile. You can use Twitter’s search to check if anyone has tweeted about you using your old name (for example, search for @wdmuk), and if you like you can tweet at them to tell them that you’ve changed your name.

Note 2: Once you change your username, the old one becomes available so anyone can take it. It is a good idea to grab the old one with a different email address, and use this account just to see if anyone has tweeted at it. If they have, use the new account to tell them about your name change.

Facebook page

If you have a Facebook page, then you might need to change the name of your page.

To do this:

• Go to your page

• Click About below your cover photo

• Click Page info in the left column

• Hover over Name and click edit

• Enter your new name and click Save changes

Note – if you have over 200 likes, then you have to request a change – this might take a short while before it’s approved by Facebook. If you have less than 200, then it should change instantly.

While you’re here, you can also edit your Short Description and Company Overview if you need to.

In the same way, you can also change your page’s web address. For example, we changed ours from worlddevelopmentmovement to globaljusticeuk

Note – if you have over 200 likes, then you can only change your name once so be careful!

You may also want to edit your profile photo. To do this, just hover over it and click. We’ve provided a logo for you to use if you wish.

Facebook group

You can only change the name of a group you admin if it has fewer than 250 members. To change the name of your group:

• Go to the group and the button with three dots in […]in the top right

• Select Edit Group Settings from the dropdown menu

• Change the group name and then click Save

All members of the group will receive a notification that the name has changed.

Note: Facebook doesn’t allow admins to change a group’s name when the group reaches 250 members to “prevent abuse”. I’m not sure how easy it is to change if you have over 250 – you may need to contact Facebook to get this done, or it may not be possible.

Flickr

To change your name:

• log onto Flickr and hover over your logo

• click Settings

• Change your screen name

• Change your buddy icon (you can use the one available to download on the groups section of the website if you wish)

• Edit your profile if necessary

Note: You cannot change the web addresses of your account, e.g. wdm is not editable.

Yahoo groups

This is from Yahoo’s help page:

If you want to update or modify the name of your group or your group's main email address, then you can do it from the "Control Panel."

• On your group's main page, click Management | Control Panel

• Click About Group

• Enter your desired group name (Title)

• Enter your desired group web and email addresses

• Click Save

Note1: It's not possible to unlink your group email and web addresses.

Note2: To change these settings, you must be a group owner or moderator. If you're a moderator and you don't see fields above, you'll need to contact the group owner to request that they make the changes on your behalf or provide you with the necessary privileges to make them yourself.

Note3: After changing your group's name and email address, any existing invitations, links, and sign-up boxes used outside the Yahoo Groups service will no longer be valid.

Note 4: Any message filters or email in-box assistance programs maintained by group members may need to be updated (for example, if a member has an email program that organizes incoming messages into folders, it may not recognize your new group address).

Basically, test everything out if you change anything!

Email

If you have an email address, and you want to change it, then the best way is to create a brand new address and redirect the old mail to go to this new one.

How you do this depends on which webmail system you’re using.

Gmail

• Set up a brand new Gmail address. You do this by signing out of any Google accounts you may be on and going to . Depending on how you have it set up, you may need to click Add account, then Create an account

• Now log back into your old Gmail account

• Click the cog icon top-right and Settings

[pic]

• Click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab

• Click Add a forwarding address in the “Forwarding” section

• Enter the new email address you created that you want to emails to

• Google will send a verification email to the new address. So open your other email account and find the confirmation message from the Gmail team. If you’re having trouble finding it, check your Spam folder

• Click the verification link in that email

• Back in your old Gmail account, reload the page in your web browser - look for the reload icon [pic].

• On the same Forwarding and POP/IMAP page in Settings, check that Forward a copy of incoming mail is selected and your email address is in the drop-down menu

• In the second drop-down menu, choose what you want Gmail to do with your messages after they’re forwarded, such as keep Gmail’s copy in the Inbox (recommended) or archive Gmail’s copy.

• Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page

Yahoo Mail

• You’ll need to create your new email address first

• Once done, go back to your old account

• Mouse over the Settings menu icon Gear Icon [pic] and select Settings.

• Click Accounts in the left pane.

• Click Edit beside "Yahoo account."

• Select Forward.

• Enter the address you want to forward your email to and select:

o Store and forward - Email is saved to your account and sent to the forwarding address.

o Forward only - All email is sent directly to the forwarding address.

o Store and forward and mark as read - Email is saved to your account, marked as "Read," and sent to the forwarding address.

• Click Save

Other email systems

Check the help documentation – sometimes it’s quicker just to Google “Forward email from AOL account” or whatever to quickly find out how to do it.

Note: If you do change your email address, make sure you update it wherever it is displayed on any other web page, e.g. your Groups contact page.

As before – if you need help with any of this please contact Corin on corin.pearce@.uk
