While the quality of your tweets will be all important, the image you present of yourself through your background will help keep visitors hooked. It is not all about glossy finishes though; indeed, more important is regards the info you give of yourself.

When first starting to use Twitter, (unless really pushing your brand and corporate image), you would be best advised to stick with their standard set of backgrounds. They have been tastefully and cleverly designed; possibly at a cost of thousands, so should not be disregarded.

Once you are more comfortable with using the micro-blogging sensation, you can of course start to express yourself more.

The settings page is easily navigable, and selecting to change your background with one of your chosen images from your PC or laptop is self explanatory.

How you lay this out can be decided between tiled or centered shot. If you choose to go for the centered option; ensure quality and sharpness is retained to produce the highest quality.

It is also worth paying attention to such areas on screen as your sidebar; ensure all info is presented clearly and concisely – you can’t embed links. Logos can be incorporated too, if you are using Twitter as one of your online marketing avenues.

Indeed, if you have a blogor site of any sort, you should always put a link to your twitter page.  You can find follow me on twitter buttons that can be pasted right into your theme or website.

As with blogging in general; the backgrounds for Twitter you decide to run with should be reflective of you and your personal image. Try to tie them in with your tweets, change them on a regular basis, and do not be afraid to go back to Twitter’s own set of templates if you aren’t inspired for a short time.
