Free Twitter Backgrounds


I made a few Twitter Backgrounds tonight for fun. I went ahead and grabbed a bunch of free  stock images from Stock Xchng. They have a lot of nice images, but be sure to click the image and get the largest one possible. 


Feel free to download them (get the largest image available from Flickr) and use as your background. Open Twitter and click "Settings". Click "Design" and then click the check box "Use Image as Background". Click the "Choose" button and find your downloaded background. Click "Save" and go back to your home page. Your new background should be visible now.

Twitter Background Tutorial


I have created a Tutorial for creating a background image to use as your Twitter home pge. Most Twitter Backgrounds are tiled and most of the image is hidden. By using a smaller image and placing it on either side of the text boxes you can see the images clearly. If you have any ideas from improvement please let me know.

Interesting Person This Week

When I see something interesting or something I like I will give a quick mention. The Dot Art Blog is interesting to not only look at but to read. I am not an artist (closest I come is painting figures) and throughly enjoy when I see someone passionate about his craft. Look, read and enjoy.
