Make Your Twitter Prettier for Free

1 comments Links to this post

Update your Twitter theme easily using free tools available online. There are many resource sites for free and custom Twitter backgrounds, themes and buttons. Here are a few that I found.

Complete Themes


My number one choice for ease of use is: Twitter Gallery - Pick a free twitter theme by category or color and then have it automatically installed on Twitter. Ten minutes, max.

Use a visual designer with more options: PrettyTweet - Use the on site WYSIWYG editor to design your free Twitter theme. Add, crop and adjust image, change border, link or text color. Post theme automatically to Twitter and have background image emailed to you. Twenty or more minutes.

Backgrounds Only


cheth Studios - Free background pictures (PSD format) from DeviantArt.

FreeTwitter Designer - Create free Twitter backgrounds using an on site tool.

SweetTweet - Cute, fun free backgrounds organized by categories.

TwitterImage - Free Twitter background pictures by category.

Blog Your Blessing : Bridges

4 comments Links to this post


I love bridges, the physical type. One of the trips on my bucket list is to see every 100-year old truss bridge in Texas.

Metaphysical, emotional and economic bridges exist as well. Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Bridge the Digital Divide, Bridging the Gender Gap, Bridges to Babylon . . .

Below I have written some of my favorite quotations about bridges. If you have one, please share it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know, I do speak the Queens English. It's just the wrong Queens that's all. It's over the 59th Street Bridge. It's not over the Atlantic Ocean. ~Cyndi Lauper~

A politician is a man who will double cross that bridge when he comes to it. ~Oscar Levant~

I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them. ~Roger Tory Peterson~ (wrote many birding guides)

If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you. ~Peter Marshall~

One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges; we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more. ~A. B. Yehoshua~

Tell Your Story in Six Words

3 comments Links to this post

Ernest Hemmingway was once asked to tell a story in six words. Almost immediately, he returned with "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Could you write a story with six words? Tell your life story in six words? For more information or to submit an official six word memoir, visit Six-Word Memoirs at SMITH Magazine. If you are not submitting to the site, please leave your six-word stories in a comment.

Here are a few of mine to get you started:

Raised in the 1960s. Still kicking.

Celebrate, laugh, live long and prosper.

Drinking and driving too fast. Buried today.

More Information Than We Need

If you cannot stand to watch the video, here are the tips in writing:
  • Trim, lather up with some shave gel and ensure you're using a fresh blade.
  • Pull your skin taut, and as flat as possible. Don't exert pressure; let the razor do the work.
  • Use short, light strokes to minimize nicks, cuts and scratches.
I would add one:
  • Be very, very careful . . . LOL
