How to set up a twitter #hashtag so people don’t bother to trend it #fail

The other day, before I got hit by man/shed flu again (or maybe because) I thought I would try and get a twiter trend started to promote your great sheds as its was #shedwednesday (another failure there)

So the hastag I choose was #shedporn – on reflection I dont think it was a good idea as I lost a few followers because of it, either they dislike sheds and maybe porn, on the other hand I picked up some follwers who dont like sheds but love porn, you can’t win.

Anyway these were the sheds that I promoted with the ill fated  hastag campaign, as you can see a few others used the hastag, with coercion I bet 😉
