Have you updated your Twitter page Profile? Now you can brand it better with a larger format similar to facebook. If you are ready to pump up your image in Twitter, just follow these steps:
Step 1 – Know the Layout Specification
• Custom header images should be sized to 1252×626, and will be resized by Twitter.
• Your profile picture, or avatar, will be placed close to the top in the middle of your custom header, so make sure there is no important information there.
• Your profile information, for example, your name, location, and URL, will be placed on the header under your profile image.
Step 2 – Update Your Profile
• Log in to Twitter.
Step 3 –Select Settings Icon From The Menu On the Right Top
Step 4 – Select Profile From the Settings Pull Down Menu (see right)
Step 5 – Changing for Your Profile Page (see below)
• Select Profile from the menu
• Click “change header” to upload your own header. When uploading notice that you can click and drag it to position but you must design it to leave space in the center of the image for your posting profile and description to be dropped in and the copy will be readable. Don’t be afraid to try a couple of times since you can save over it if you don’t like the look.
• Looking down a little, you can see the option to upload a new custom background, or choose a color. You also have the option to change the link colors. Make sure your new pattern or color is not distracting from your new profile photo.
• To Change your background colors or design a new background, refer to the Settings menu and select Design. Looking down a little, you can see the option to upload a new custom background, or choose a color. You also have the option to change the link colors. Make sure your new pattern or color is not distracting from your new profile photo.
• When you are finished remember to hit “save changes!”
Now your new header is consistent with your facebook, Google+ and your website. Try to make all of your branding consistent so you will be able to capture a mind share from prospective buyers as well as reinforce your brand with your content throughout the Internet. Enjoy your new design. Please post your new profiles on my facebook page so we can show them off.
