Today was the day when I got bored of my Twitter background so I decided to change it.

The outcome can be seen by clicking the above image or here: @Garcya.

If you would like to create something like this you should know a few things:

Image size in px depends on what results you want to have. If you would like to have info / logo / text in the left side and nothing in the right the image size should be somewhere between 400-450 px width. You can toggle with the size for best view.

The image height should be around 860-900 px. My image is 860px height and it fits a resolution of 1920 x 1080 on Firefox without any toolbars.

After you’ve created your image you should go to http://twitter.com/account/profile_settings and change the background image, and after that change the design colors, especially the background that should be in the same color as your image background.

Hope this helped, but if you have questions you can ask here on follow me on twitter: @Garcya

I’ve used Firefox until now, even when I was on a Windows machine, but after a while you feel like Firefox is not moving that fast as it use to. This is maybe because it’s fully loaded with plugins / addons and other stuff that makes Firefox great.

Since I’m on a Mac, Safari comes built in and believe me, Safari is much faster than Firefox and has his advantages and disadvantages.

If you’re a Safari user the most annoying this is probably all your links open in a new window instead of a new tab as you might want. This was the thing that kept me between using Safari or Firefox.

Is there a fix for this, you ask? Yes there is. (But only for Mac users, sorry Windowers :p )

To make Safari open all your links into a new tab (if they are made to open in a new window) all you have to do is go to your Applications folder and then to Utilities folder and open Terminal.

After Terminal is opened Quit Safari!

In terminal window copy and past the code below and hit enter ( Is Safari Closed? Quit Safari if not )

Copy-Paste this: defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true

Now you can quit Terminal and open Safari – All your new links will open in a Tab :)

Questions? Just ask!

For seasoned pros this will be a big “Duh!” but for those new to the game, or who struggle with knowing how or where to add shading and lighting it’ll at least point you in the right direction and give you a foundation to grow from.”
