Twitter tips--Applying Theme Twitter Profile

Applying a Theme to Twitter Profile

Your fresh-out-of-the-box Twitter account sets up your pages to use a collection of colors and 

images that are the same for all new accounts:

  The page background is light blue.

  The page background shows faint cloud-like images.

  The sidebar uses a light green background.

  The sidebar border is a slightly darker green.

  The links are a darker blue.

  The text is dark gray.

Taken together, these half dozen items comprise the profile’s theme. Happily, you’re not stuck with 

the default theme. If you want to give your Twitter profile a different look, you can apply one of the 

dozen prefab themes that Twitter provides, or you can take an even more customized approach by 

choosing your own theme components.The next couple of sections take you on this theme road less traveled, but for now here are the,

steps to follow to apply a predefined Twitter theme:

 1.  Sign in to your Twitter account.

 2.  Click Settings. The Settings page appears.

 3.  Click the Design tab.

 4.  In the Select a theme area, click a theme that looks 

5.  Repeat step 4 until you find a theme that suits you.

 6.  Click Save Changes. Twitter updates your profile with the new theme.

Twitter tips--Setting Twitter account Picture

Setting Twitter account Picture

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, your Twitter picture is the window of your account. 

Sort of. To see what I mean, check out the list of Twitterers.See the picture in the lower right corner? 

That’s the generic image that Twitter displays when a user hasn’t taken the time to choose 

his or her own picture.

Of course, no one’s going to put a gun to your head to force you to put up your own picture, but that generic image is rather lame, and it tells folks that you haven’t got your act together enough to spend the couple of minutes that it takes to set your own picture. Even better, choosing your own picture is a chance to have a bit of fun.

 Most Twitterers use simple head shots of themselves, but a large percentage use something else 

entirely: a cartoon character, a caricature, an animal, a logo, or whatever. Feel free to let your imagination run a bit wild here.Once you’ve settled on an image that suits your style, 

follow these steps to add it to your profile:

 1.  Sign in to your Twitter account.

 2.  Click Settings. The Settings page appears.

 3.  Click the Picture tab.

 4.  Click Browse. If you’re using Safari, click Choose 

File, instead. A file selection dialog box 

appears.

 5.  Choose the file you want to use, and then click Open (or Choose in Safari). You can 

use either a JPEG or a PNG file, and the maximum size is 700KB.

 6.  Click Save. Twitter updates your profile with the new image.
