I’ve just started to get into Twitter, it’s a great tool..as long as people have something interesting to say! What also needs to be interesting is your Twitter background, so I had a couple minutes spare and knocked out the following for you to use.

Twitter Backgrounds

I took into account the Twitter layout, basing the background on a standard 1200×1000 setup. For anyone designing a Twitter background, make sure there isn’t too much going on colour and design wise as it’ll be distracting for the viewer. Also remember screensizes are different so there can be no exact layout.

How to Install your Background

Click on Settings in the top Right corner, should be under your username.
Then select Design, Change Background Image.
Click Browse, find the jpg or PNG file. Make sure Tile Background is left unchecked and then click Save.
Feel free to edit these backgrounds, preferably giving Bestblogs.asia a hat tip . The PNG version is editable, whilst the JPG version is recommended to upload directly to Twitter.

Use Twitter on Blogs

Twitter is a “microblogging” service; it accepts only small 140 character posts for quick dispersement of information. Using Twitter has taken off big time in 2008, whilst in 2009 more people are signing up. “Tweets” can be embeded in almost any blogs.

Using Twitter on your Blogs

The easiest way to embed Twitter in a website is to use any of the official Twitter Badges and Plugins:

What to Write about?

Twitter can be used as a great tool for self-promotion, which in the case of blogs/sites can be used to showcase new sites, products and posts. Be warned, don’t over promote yourself on Twitter or post too regularly..this is frowned upon.

My Twitter Feed

My Twitter Feed is http://twitter.com/misohoni, I don’t use it for Web Design talk (it’ll be too boring) or talk about everyday life, but I use it to give short movie reviews. I watch a lot of films, so thought I’d review them and mark them out of 5…it’s perfect for me since I don’t like to write much!
