    Nothing fancy, but for my icon I incorporated my dragon monogram (hope you can see the dy initials based on ITC Simran typeface, the d is the body of the dragon, etc.). And the radial BG shape transformed in Photoshop and made into a custom shape. I had to tweak the sizing and orientation of the gif file because of the fixed twitter interface.

    It’s good to see Layers, PhotoshopUser in this interesting space of Twitter.

    Possible problem – Twitter is choking on custom designs (among other things right now). I’m alternately missing my profile pic and page background on random loadings of the page. I know of many other users who are experiencing the same problem.

    hmm … saw my comment on your page, but now it’s gone. Are you moderating comments, or should they appear as they’re added?

    ah – seems your blog engine may have an overzealous spam filter. My officemate and I are both trying to post our twitter pages, from our desks, however we appear to the outside world to be one IP address. So, when he posts a comment, mine seem to disappear, and when I post my comment, his disappears. Weird!

    okay – well sorry to everyone – apparently my coworker and I cannot post comments at the same time since our office has a single visible outbound IP address. Kinda sucks but whatever. In any case, so we don’t completely F up the comments here, I am going to post his twitter profile as well. Again, sorry to anyone annoyed by this problem.

    Ha! I just noticed I wrote “Here by ours” instead of “Here be ours.” My attempt to intentionally add poor grammar backfired due to my unintentionally poor grammar.
