5 Ways Your Twitter Picture Will Keep Me from Following You

Posted by ProAZ-AD | at 12:26 AM |

Call me crazy, but your Twitter icon can and WILL keep me from following you on Twitter. Below are my top 5 gripes about Twitter images and why they'll drive me, and probably many others, away.
  1. If you have the ugly brown default icon that Twitter uses as a placeholder, I won't follow you. If you use this it makes me think you're not active and I like to follow active people.
  2. If your Twitter icon is a mini advertisement for your MLM or Dating Service conpany, I will not follow. This just screams that you'll be trying to sell me something at some point and that your primary motivation for being on Twitter is to make money. Pass.
  3. If your Twitter icon is flipping me the bird I probably will not follow you. I get enough of that when I drive my car, I don't really want it in my twitter client. It's not cute, it's actually pretty stupid and immature. FYI
  4. If your Twitter icon makes you look angry or like a douchebag, I will not follow you. I'm not in this for negative vibes, baby.
  5. If your twitter picture is of nude or risque body parts, male or female, I'll definitely pass. I suppose there's a place for that on the internet for certain people... Twitter is not that place in my opinion.
  6. BONUS GRIPE: Animated Twitter icons may seem like a cool and hip thing, but they get old very quickly and I really don't want to keep  being distracted by your dancing banana when I'm trying to read tweets around you. Don't try to steal attention away from others. Tweet awesome tweets and you won't have to resort to such lame tactics.
There, I said it. It feels good to get that off my chest. Do you have a nice & respectable Twitter avatar? I'm @azkiya_aero on Twitter.  Follow me here and I'll be sure to return the favor! :-)

Twitter : How to Create Twitter Background

You are on Twitter and you want a custom background.  Here is what  you need to know.


You can create your own background in any application that will let  you save the file as a .jpg, .gif or .png and allows you to create the  graphics you desire.  I used Adobe Photoshop to create mine (take a peek to  see what it looks like).
Here are some things you need to know before getting started:
  • Your twitter background will force itself to the far left of the  page.  Give your self some room from the left side.
  • People have different size monitors, so it is best to keep the  graphics on the left and a solid color on the right so that you know  they are seeing what you want them to see.

Creating your background
Set Your File Dimensions (page size): 378 px x 583  px or 5.25 inches wide x 8 inches tall
Now Set A Logo Area: 80 px by 583 px or 1 inch x  1.25 inches (this is about how big you want it to be)
Left Margin: Remember to set everything over 3/4 of  an inch from the left side.
Top Margin: 14 px or 1/8 inch from the top is where  you are going to want to put your logo (this way it lines up with the  Twitter logo).
Right Margin: 3/4 inch – 1 inch  from the right is  where you are going to want to put your guides.  Place your information  between the left and right margins.  This will give you a little “elbow  room” as people expand and collapse their windows.  Thanks The Harriman Team  for point this out.
Important Note:  Different monitor sizes, and different screen  resolutions will cause variations on how your background appears.  The  sizes above were created so to meet the needs of most people.
Final file size according to Twitter:  “Images must be smaller than  800k.”
Make it “Purdy”
Colors: Select colors that match your Twitter  template colors. You can change the colors for Text, Name, Link, Sidebar  fill and Sidebar border as needed in the dialog box on Twitter.
Recommendation: Choose colors that work with the  template you have choosen and save yourself the headache of matching the  links, etc. to your image.
How to Upload your Twitter background
  1. Login and click ‘Settings’ >> click ‘Design’ >> Select  ‘Use my custom style below’ radio button >> Upload your image

It took me quite a bit of time to get a background image that I was  happy with. There was a lot of editing and uploading again, and again  until it was just the way I wanted it. Have patience and you’ll be  thrilled with the results. Remember that you are working within someone  else’s website and can’t control all the features.


Keep these things in mind when creating your new background for  Twitter.
