We’re all on Twitter now, and it needs no introduction. But with so many people on Twitter, how can you make your profile stand out?
Twitter doesn’t offer a lot of tools for customizing your profile. It doesn’t go much further than a background image and a few colors.
But as you’ll see below, that’s more than enough for some people.
Social bookmarking and link sharing is probably the largest source of traffic for most of us. Sites like Stumbleupon and Delicious send hundreds of thousands of visitors across the blogosphere.
So how can we encourage more people to share our links? One of the easiest options is to include a set of links at the bottom of your posts which readers can click to automatically vote for your article.
There are plugins which can do this of course, but that requires you to work with their settings, names icons in their banner and it means having yet another plugin installed on your site.
If you would rather avoid that and have complete control for yourself, then you might prefer to code the links into your theme yourself.
Everyone seems to be on Twitter these days. Or on Plurk. Or Gravatar. Or MyBlogLog. Or Digg. Or Votetime. Or one of the million other social sites out there.
And all of those sites use an image on your profile. But what sort of image works best?
A photo of yourself? Or your logo? Or just a cool design?
