Customizing Your Twitter Page

Did you know you can customize the background design of your Twitter
page? It’s easy, though not straightforward,
so I thought it would be worthwhile to scribble some notes so I wouldn’t forget
how to do it! If it helps you, great.
The custom part of the design
is the background. I selected a background that matches my business card, then added the logo from my card, and contact information for my Flickr, Facebook, et al
webpages. For you, if the background is an image
that you upload, you will need to build your image in Photoshop or Lightroom
first. (I will not review creating the image, but note that I started with a
Photoshop canvas 2048 wide and 1600 wide and a marker line at 300 pixels to
restrict the area for text.)
Start with the home page, as in the example of my home page
below. But there is a problem with my first design. After creating the background image and
uploading it, I neglected to include my LinkedIn page. To correct that omission I went to my profile page. Under the head-and-shoulders icon on the
right side (next to the quill in a box) there is a pull-down menu. Go there and …
select View my profile
page followed by Edit Your Profile.
Then select the Design
option.
Once in the design page under Customize your own choose an
image file from your hard drive and upload it for the background.
The uploaded image will become your new background.
