Twitter may only be just a few years old but when it comes to people subscribing to it, it may well have been hundreds of years old. Originally created by Jack Dorsey in 2006, Twitter has grown from just an SMS based social networking site to becoming a staple in every one's activities including businesses.

As if allowing users to post whatever they have in mind is not enough, twitter has not made it possible for users to be as creative as possible in customizing their twitter pages. Gone are the days when a simple change in theme would do. Today, twitter is all about self-expression on so many levels.

If you are one of those who would like to have a twitter page that is uniquely yours, your first move would be to upload an image that you are sure only has. If you are someone who is creative enough, you might even make use of any image editing software application and come up with a background that is uniquely yours.

Creating your own custom page with a unique twitter background would require you to have a working knowledge of CSS and HTML. Currently, twitter background ...

Since not everyone uses the same resolution, you have to make sure that, when you play around with the CSS and HTML codes, you check how your site renders in other web browsers.

If you are creating a professional twitter background, you might want to consider using your company's logo as your twitter background image. Avoid, however, putting the image in tiles as this could turn off your visitors especially if it already takes their attention away from what you really want to say.

If you find yourself having problems coming up with a custom twitter background, you might want to visit a number of sites that offer templates as well as unique backgrounds that you can just upload and use. If you would like to go beyond that, some of these sites can help you create your own background for a certain fee.
