How to Add a Background to Twitter
Having a background on Twitter is one of the most important things to do on your Twitter account. In one instance, a background can catch the attention of a potential follower/customer, showcase your work, and possibly share some information (depending on the kind of background you make). PS. It is really easy to get a background on your account!

This post is to give you a quick recap of how to actually get a background posted to your Twitter account but, here are a few tips for creating your background.

• Use coloring that matches the colors you already use for your product/shop graphics.
• Keep the bulk of your information and pictures to the left side and make sure it is in a thin space so that you can see it.
• Make sure the font you use is easily read.
• Use some kind of picture(s) of your product somewhere so people instantly get an idea of what you do.
• The size of your ending file needs to be 800k or less and made in a GIF, JPG, or PNG file extension.

Adding the Background

• Log into your Twitter account.
• On the top right side click your user name; this causes a drop down menu to appear.
• Click on the settings button.



• Click on the design button.

  

• Toward the bottom, click the change background image button which will expand some options.

  

• Click the browse to navigate and find your background file. When you find it, click the file and then click open.

  

• If you want to tile your image (repeat it several times in the background) be sure to check the tile background button.
• Click the Save Changes button; you will see the background of your settings page change and a bar will appear for a moment on the top saying the settings were saved.
• Lastly, go to your profile, view your new background, and enjoy!

  

See, that was painlessly easy wasn’t it?
