If you have a twitter account, you know the built in themes are really limited. If you are not a pro or you don’t want to spend too much time designing your own background, you may want to consider using the service from tweetygotback. It is such a neat service which allows you to change your twitter account background instantly. How does it work? Simple:

You go to the website: http://tweetygotback.com/

browse all the themes till you find the one you like the most.

Click on “apply” and you can preview the background of your twitter page. If you like it, you can then activate it and your twitter page has a new look!

Brilliant, isn’t it?

You have a picture, you want to edit it by adding some text. How to do it? The common way is to use a graphic designing software such as Photoshop. If you are familiar with the software and are very skillful at using it, you may still find it the best to use it to add text. But if you are not that good or you just want a quick addition, then I would recommend Picfont, an online editor for adding text to pictures.

According to Picfont, “You can simply add text on 3 differents modes : over a picture (uploaded from computer or from an Url) over a canvas which represents a space where you can select a background color), or over a shape (badges, signs….)”. The effects can be viewed below:
