    Try the attached file Nathan.
    These 'twitter' bg's seem to be mostly guesswork. No set dimensions as far as I can make out. Let me know if it 'tiles' (which means it's not wide enough) or if the main page covers any part of the text and url.

    Attached is two graphics which has Twitter Guidelines - maybe it will help.
    And a Twitter Template - it is a good visual aid.

    Thanks Dave, seems to be a problem with the "guidlines" zip file though.

    Next problem..
    The template shows seven different screen sizes to adapt the graphic to:
    800px by 600px
    1024px by 768px
    1440px by 900px
    1280px by 1024px
    1680px by 1050px
    1900px by 1200px
    2560px by 1600px
    Sounds a bit outdated, shouldn't there just be one standard size now?
    I made the one for Nathan at 1600 x 1200px (as recommended on some twitter background site)

    Any advice? :rolleyes:

    "Sounds a bit outdated, shouldn't there just be one standard size now?"
    How ???
    That would mean everyone on the planet who has a monitor would need to have the same screen size. The template shows you the layout for twitter and the size proportions of the various screens. It's up to the individual to pick the most appropriate size that they feel will work with their design and still reach the majority of the viewers without a problem. Being crafty with your design and if you are new to twitter layouts requires good old fashion trial and error, plus retaining what works and what does not.

    Hi Covert pea,

    Forgive if I am not doing this in the correct manner. I have a web site I am trying to build. and a twitter account along the lines of the web. Its a forex robot reviewer site. Is there anyway I am able to down load the file in this thread and edit the name at the side. And place a couple of spaces to place my affiliate links (with hidden link)??

    Sorry if I am not meant to ask this.
