Default My twitter background
I just figured out how to make a background using Power Point if anyone is interested.

First you have to let me know if you like mine (maybe a little busy)

www.twitter.com/sageva

If you want me to tell you how, let me know...

Your background is very pretty -- the text on the left describing your business is hard to read over the picture -- maybe you could change the text color?

And how did you do it! I was able to get my background green almost to match my logo on the side -- but this is much nicer.

Go find a beautiful background!! Save it.

Open power point, after you have chosen a background,
click on INSERT, click on 'picture', choose your picture and ok.

Using your mouse, click on one of the little buttons and pull the background out so it fits the page.

Go up to INSERT again, click on 'text box'.. add your text, size it, change font, whatever. You can add as many text boxes as you want. Put them all the way to the left and to the right of the page because the twitter info is going down the center.

The twitter page is fairly small so when you are done playing, put your mouse on the background picture (while still in PP) and right click, scroll down to size and position, size should be 11.75 X 19.17.

SAVE AS > .jpg

Go to Twitter, settings, design.. choose 'change background', browse to find yours, click ok. It may take a few tweeks because the sizing is funny. I found the first one was WAY too big so I had to go back into PP and make it smaller but the last size I came up with was the one I mentioned above.

have fun, I expect to see tons of new beautiful backgrounds now!!

I changed the font color on the right side, does that look better? Easier to read?

Ah yes, the new font color is much easier to read -- are you going to make all the text on the picture this color.

It would really pop then. Excellent instructions on you did it -- thank you for sharing.

I tried PSP... GAWD its confusing to me! I even took a class... PP is so much simpler... I bought the logo program because I couldnt get it right in photoshop.... by the way, I do like the logo program!
