Actually, it makes sense since most of the salads are sating but at the same time, they are not fatty. What does a salad have as ingredients? Well, that is mainly vegetables, oil and other seasonings. Of course, more and more salads have different kinds of meat in them but it is really not recommendable if you want to use the salads as a way for losing weight.

However, a perfect salad recipe should be not only sating but also tastes good. After all, it is important to eat something tasty during the period of your diet otherwise it would be still unpleasant although you will not be starving. Fortunately, there are many recipes for salads which are appropriate for losing weight and you are not likely to have problems choosing at least one which you like. But the truth is that if you want your diet to be successful, you’d better consume different salads every day. Your organism needs to be supplied with a super variety of micro- and macro- elements; and also vitamins and antioxidants. You should know that there is no dish (not even a salad) which contains all of them which is why consuming a variety of salads is the best way to get them.

But all advantages of a ‘salad diet’ have not been mentioned yet. You probably know that there are many women who undergo the so called yo-yo effect. There is no doubt that it is the most discouraging thing which could happen to somebody- after weeks of starvation, it all was for nothing! Anyway, it has been proved and it is a fact that by using a salad recipe as your diet regime, the risk of experiencing the unpleasant yo-yo effect is very, very small! So that was one more reason why to choose salads as the best and most efficient way to lose the extra kilos.

Some design their own backgrounds, others have them professionally made and designs can include anything that the user feels necessary to promote themselves or express their personality.

Of course Twitter provides options to add one of their 20 set designs that are available or to customize the background with a shade of many colours, however many people want a more individual design for their profile background.

With increasing demand for Twitter designs, there are literally thousands of images to choose from and this number is growing continuously over time.

By using a bespoke Twitter background, it gives your profile and image an easily recognisable look and will increase the chance of people following you. With so many Twitter galleries available the only problem could be choosing between the large numbers of designs!

Below we detail a beginners guide to show what options are available to customize your Twitter background and how easy it is to implement. 

Basic Background Themes 

Once logged into Twitter and on your account homepage, simply click on the ‘Settings’ link on the top navigation bar. This will take you to your account settings and the ‘Design’ link needs to be clicked in the above menu. 

The design page will show a list of the 20 pre-arranged backgrounds available from Twitter themselves. You can click on all of them to see a preview of what the themes look like. If you are happy with one of them and want to use it, simply click on the ‘save changes’ button at the bottom of the page. If none of them are appealing, click the ‘cancel’ button instead. 

Adding Your Own Background Image 

To insert one o your own photos, graphics or images to use as your Twitter background is very simple. Ensure that you are on the ‘design’ page still and click on the ‘Change background image’ link near the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a search box just underneath the button. Click in the search box and then find the image file that you would like to use by navigating in the pop up window. Once found click on ‘Open’ in the current window and then click the ‘Save changes’ button at the bottom of the Twitter page. This will then add the image as your Twitter background. Underneath the small preview image shown in the Twitter page there is also the option to ‘tile’ the image. This simply means that the image will be tiled o repeated in the image size across the background of your Twitter profile. Click the tick box to see how it comes out. Don’t forget to save any changes with the ‘Save changes’ button. 

Note – some images do not view very well on Twitter due to the size of the image. If yours does not view appropriately, simply use image software such as Photoshop to increase the image size. 

Customized Twitter Colors 

Click on the ‘Change design colours’ link near the bottom of the page; here it is possible to customize the look of your Twitter profile even further. The 5 coloured boxes at the bottom of page, if clicked on, can be used to alter the colour of the 

background, the text, links, sidebar and sidebar border. When happy with the colour scheme click the ‘Save changes’ button, otherwise select ‘Cancel’. 

That I all there is to it. Have fun customizing your Twitter page.

Many people, while loving the Twitter concept, desire the inclusion of emoticons and smileys on their Interface, but at the time of writing, Twitter have no intentions of adding them to their service. The reason for this is that they are seen as a method of degrading the quality and look of the overall experience and worries about Emoticon spamming come to fruition. Twitter’s defence is that their service is for micro-blogging text and with the limited 140 character limit; there is no room for emoticons on their message boards. 

Many Twitter users feel that the service is lacking because of this decision and see Twitter as even being incomplete without them. 

There is however, an alternative. ‘TwitterKeys’* is a website which has a list of UTF compatible characters that can be used on Twitter posts. These are not as detailed as typical emoticons and smileys from say Facebook or Yahoo! Messenger; however they do show basic graphic images in black and white – more than is currently supported by Twitter by default. 

The Emoticons are fairly basic but there is a good range of content varying from a telephone image to a moon, hearts, stars, flowers and other typical symbols that you would expect to find on an Emoticon list. 

Implementing them into Twitter is very simple too. Simply double click on the Emoticon or icon that is to be used, hold down ‘Ctrl + C’ to copy the image and then press ‘Ctrl + V’ to paste the image into the Twitter text box. It’s as easy as that. These TwitterKey Emoticons are not just limited to the Twitter website either, they can be used in documents such as Word and Excel or on other instant messaging tools and social media websites.

The best way to attract loyal followers is by creating twitter backgrounds. Sure there are several good backgrounds you can utilize, but these backgrounds are being used by thousands and thousands of other Twitter users and you want your Tweets to stand out right? It’s time to learn how to a create twitter background for your page and by doing so you will be able to give individuality and originality to your Twitter Page.It’s all quite simple, you choose an image and then you upload it to Twitter. The image can be small and then displayed in a repeating fashion on your page, or it can be a larger image that is displayed as just a single image. For larger images you gain the ability to customize it to your exact specifications, adding personal images and graphics for example. By utilizing the right image, one that corresponds to your Tweets and one that is personalized, you’ll give your Twitter followers a good user experience.

The easiest way to create twitter backgrounds is by customizing an image. I use 1600×1200 pixel images to ensure that multiple different web browsers and multiple monitors will all be able to see my Twitter page the way it was intended. After selecting the right image and bringing it to the right size dimensions you can go ahead and set upon the task of further customizing it.

The top of the image should be reserved for the menu, logo and navigation and this will take up about 71 pixels of the top of the images. Beneath that 71 pixels is where your Tweets will appear. Keep in mind that you need to customize your background image to accommodate these Tweets in a way that makes them easy to read and 760 pixels is about how wide a space you will need to reserve for your Tweets.

Besides the two above constraints, any other areas of the background image may be used for additional text, images or graphics. By carefully designing your Twitter background to match your Tweets and the general niche your Tweets are about, you will be able to attract and retain a higher number of Twitter followers than you would be able to with a generic Twitter background.

Twitter suffered a “sudden failure” and then encountered problems switching to a backup system, which left the site “largely inaccessible” for about 90 minutes, the company said.

Once notorious for regular and prolonged outages, Twitter has improved in this respect in the past year, but remains inconsistent. In August of last year, Twitter logged more than 6 hours of downtime, following a total of only 17 minutes in July, according to monitoring company Pingdom. In October, it had more than 5 hours of downtime, sandwiched between only 33 minutes in September and 22 minutes in November.

While Twitter is a free service, it has a large ecosystem of external developers whose revenue-generating Twitter-based applications are affected whenever the system has performance problems.

In addition, Twitter has concrete plans to generate revenue itself, at which point it the stability of the site will affect customers, whether they are advertisers or businesses that subscribe to fee-based Twitter services.

A custom twitter design can be accomplished by choosing the right background image to display on your Twitter page. You should choose a background image that directly relates to the main gist of your Tweets, that is, if your site is about Pets, you should incorporate images of Pets. Once you have an image selected, and it should be 1600×1200 pixels to ensure that all web browsers and monitors will be able to see it properly, you can get to customizing it.

The most important part of how to create custom twitter designs lies in making sure your Tweets are highly visible and pronounced. By editing your Twitter background image to accommodate and showcase these Tweets you’ll be able to provide your visitors with quick easy access to your Tweets. After you have ensured your Tweets will be highly visible you should incorporate additional images to suit the style of your Tweets. For example, an image of you the Tweeter will draw your followers in to you and provide a sense of closeness for them.

Rumors had been swirling that the pair – who have only been dating for five months – were about to have a baby after they were spotted checking out baby clothes in a London kids boutique called Cubs.
