I've been playing around with Twitter, more specifically my Twitter background and I would appreciate some (gulp) honest feedback.

Please check it out at http://twitter.com/robinsonbiz

thanks

I really like it! Think it might be a tad better if you omit the profile photo on the right (make sure your image is 'no-repeat').

Nice work!

Hi Heather,

You have a nice design. I would add a description of your business or services. This is a great way to extend your limited space from the Bio. Add your website URL and if you'd like you can include some of your other social networks.

I like your as well as a few others that I have seen, and am wondering how do you create a wall to put on your twitter page? Are the twitter templates, or a link that I can go to? Please help, thanks!

Also how do you link twitter to VAF?

I make my backgrounds using Photoshop. With dimensions of 1800 by 1000. This way users with bigger monitors do not see a blank spot to the far right. Here are just a few I have worked on if you need some ideas: http://premierevirtualoffice.com/soc...er-backgrounds

If you don't have photoshop you can use Gimp. This is a free software. Hope that helps

Thank you for the feedback.

Believe it or not, I created the background in PowerPoint.

I created a full page slide in PowerPoint. I used my photo (which I think I am going to remove) and my logo (without the business name) radomly pasted in different sizes.

I saved the slide as a .jpeg and then I uploaded it to Twitter and choose the option to tile my background.

I love your background! (I am now a follower, too! :-) )

Thanks for the info on how to create the twitter background! I was wondering on how to best create one!

I have been wondering the same thing.. I would really like to utilize social media to make myself more visible and if it is not too hard, offer it as a service down the road. I have no webpage or code experience. How hard is it?
