Twitter Backgrounds

There is a massive spike in the amount of people looking for "Twitter Backgrounds" lately so I decided to write about it and hopefully point everyone in the right direction so that they can get some for free.

How Do I Actually Add A Background To Twitter?

I thought it would be best to go over the steps you need to follow so that you know exactly what is needed to apply a background to your twitter page. I have outlined what needs to be done below in useful series of steps:
  1. Obviously the first thing you do is log in to your Twitter account. Then click on 'Settings'
  2. You should then come to a page with more tabs, select 'Design'
  3. Once you have clicked on the 'Design' tab you will see a selection of themes below. If you look below these themes you will see it has two options; 'Change Background Image' or 'Change Design Colors'.
  4. If you want add your very own background, or one that you have already downloaded, then select 'Change Background Image'. You can then browse your computer to find a background image that you want to be used on your twitter page.
Obviously this has a great deal of advantages. You could create your very own unique background image and then upload it to your page, talk about making your page stand out! You also have the option of uploading your own photos of maybe yourself, your pets, your social life or family. The options are endless...

A Selection of Free Twitter Backgrounds

I will list a few popular backgrounds here that you can download and and add as your Twitter Background. Check them out below and let me know what you think. I have also added the relevant color codes that you will need when changing the 'Design Colors' so that the background looks exactly as it is meant too. I have taken these backgrounds from 'twitter-backgrounds.net' as a reference.
