Hi, I’m trying to create a youtube or twitter theme using photoshop, but I don’t understand how you get it to remain sized the same for every different sized monitor/resolution. For instance if I make the theme in 1680×1050 res, but someone using a 17" monitor sees it, it’s different. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Technically you have asked a best question that is why I am answering.

Twitter size is different and little bit tricky to adjust the size while youtube is easy. First twitter size check my twitter if you have account.

Image size I designed
1264×912 around 28 KB.

Now about youtube design,
You should have an image in proper size. There are two ways to use background first to design yourself like mine check below

http://www.youtube.com/user/nihon94b

size is 1800×3500

second you should make an image in the following size,
1400×1200
1200×2000
1400×1050
1269×1700

Actually these above sizes depend what kind of theme you are going to use. But I suggest 1400×1200 and 1200×2000 will be fine. Just one point to note. As these sizes are larger and youtube background allow only 256 KB.
As you have showed your concern about different size of monitor technically that is right. I got wide monitor and use it therefore I do not know how my youtube design will be displayed. If you are right in that case on normal screen there should be left and right space. I did not get any complain from anyone regarding design. I have helped people and they are using same sizes as I have mentioned above.

I think what I have answered will help you.

Hey my cousin is curious and wants to create a Twitter page for his company, but he doesn’t know how to do it. He doesn’t have a twitter account either. He wants to know how to make a twitter account and twitter webpage for his company, so that he can teach his marketing people by next week. Anyone know how to do this?

It’s super easy. Just go to Twitter.com, Click on Get Started- Join, then choose your Username and password. Once your account is created, click on Settings to customize your Profile page.

I do not know what Twittering means, nor what is a Twitter is.
Please tell me what it is.
