Cool Twitter Backgrounds
Everyone is involved these days. Aren’t you? And if you have a Twitter account, how visitor friendly are you setting it up to be?
My background has information about my other social memberships, my blog and me. But it’s not quite what I want, and so I’ve been shopping. Plus, someone on my list asked me where to find a good Twitter background, so Chiwa, this is for you…
Here are a collection of sites where you can find some cool templates:
TwitterBackgrounds.com : You can get some snazzy backgrounds, but none with your picture. I think that’s essential, even though it’s already on your profile. People should have a clear idea of who you are. You can, however, design a personalized background from one of their templates and they’ll install the whole thing for you for just $5.
WishaFriend.com Twitter Backgrounds: Lots of stuff here. Just some cool backgrounds and some snazzy templates where you can add your photo. All free, and the site uploads the template for you.
*Caveat*: Giving your Twitter username and password out isn’t always a good idea. If you are going to let the site upload the template for you be sure to change your password as soon as it’s done.
Twitter Backgrounds Gallery: This site has lots of cool backgrounds to show you, but the coolest section, in my opinion is the DIY page. It gives you the instructions for creating your own Twitter background, plus a bunch of resources for doing so, like Twitter Background Guidelines, How to Make a Twitter Background Picture and Create a Twitter Background Using Powerpoint or Keynote. And all of those places lead to other cool places, and well… have a ball!
Now, there’s no reason for you to have a crappy or boring Twitter background. Use these sites to make your background zing or create your own! Just be sure you’re a decent designer. Having an ameteurish looking background is worse than having none at all.
