Create A Customised Background For Twitter

Hey, I’ve been getting a bit fed up with my Grim image. (You know… the Reaper fella.)

He’s fine for the Reaper lenses but as some of you may have noticed I’ve been putting back my own happy smiley face back up on forums, etc.

Well, I wanted to do the same thing on Twitter. Sure, it’s easy to change my pic on there but I also wanted to change the background and have that be a bit more personal.

So, I googled around and came across MyTweetSpace.com and I was able to come up with this in about 2 minutes:-

It’s completely FREE! (You can pay them to do one for you if you really want.)

I think it’s pretty cool… obviously a lot of the image gets obscured by your actual Twit bit but the sidebar does not.

There are other free tools out there so have a dig around.

You can see the finished result on my Twit bit here.

PS. That’s a rare pic is that. Spits don’t normally get shot down

EDIT: I’ve changed the background pic on my Twit bit now.  There was too much of the Spit being obscured. I’ve now switched it to a spider’s web. You can play around with the background dimensions in MyTweetSpace.com so try a few different options. But bear in mind… how it looks on your screen could well be different to how it appears on other people’s depending on their screen size.
