Brand your Twitter page with a Customized Background Image

Savvy Twitter users customize their Twitter page to include designs and information specifically related to themselves or their businesses. This information can include logos, telephone numbers, email addresses, LinkedIn details,Facebook fan pages and Web URLs. This customization can be achieved by creating a background image which includes information as part of the image and inserting this image into your Twitter profile.
The following five easy steps show how you can create a similar information rich, customized background for your Twitter page.
Step 1.) Create an image which is 2048 pixels wide and 1707 pixels high in Photoshop or similar image editor.
Step 2.) Create a design, but make sure that any textual information is kept within an imaginary column, 240 pixels wide, on the left hand side of the design.
Step 3.) Save the design as a JPG making sure the file is no bigger than 800 kilobytes.
Step 4.) Open your Twitter account. Click 'settings' in the top right and then select the 'design' tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'change background image' button. Browse for the image you just created and press the 'save changes' button.
Step 5.) Click 'change design colors' and select some colors that complement your new background design.
Bear in mind that, with modern browsers, it is possible to increase or decrease the size of a Web page. In Firefox and Explorer on a PC this is achieved by clicking CTR + or CTRL -. This means that, if you pressed CTRL + to increase the size of the page, the centered 'Twitter' area and the background would both get bigger. This can cause the information in your background image to the left of the Twitter area to begin to overlap with and be hidden by the Twitter information.
Also, since the 'Twitter area' is centered, the area to the left of it will vary in width depending on the width of the user's screen. This also means that it is difficult to put information to the right of the Twitter area without the risk of it being covered by the Twitter area, or located entirely off to the right of the screen.
The second thing to understand is that since the information you included is part of the background image, it is not possible to include hyperlinks. This may change in time and Twitter may start to allow users to manipulate their pages using Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) layouts.
