While we all like to think we are not affected by marketing, imagery and pretty pictures; the opposite is true in almost all instances. No more is this demonstrated than with the varied and crazy world of Twitter backgrounds.

While the quality of your tweets will be all important, the image you present of yourself through your background will help keep visitors hooked. Having only seconds to make an impression therefore; it is paramount that you get your key information across.

That said, the work Twitter has already done for us is good. Whilst not the most thrilling, their backgrounds do a job; think of them much as you would applying a magnolia finish to your home's interior just before handing it to your realtor.

Once you are more comfortable with using the micro-blogging sensation, you can of course start to express yourself more.

The settings page is easily navigable, and selecting to change your background with one of your chosen images from your PC or laptop is self explanatory.

Once the image is selected, you then only need to decide which way to display it; tiled or centered. Be sure to check how the definition is altered when selecting this, and if tiling, make sure it doesn't distract or create pain to the eyes.

The background is not all about the main graphic that sits behind the text of course; it is just as important to work on the color scheme, and tailor the layout and coloring of your text. Look at combinations that compliment; rather than draw the eye unnecessarily.

People who have a site (or a weblog) can have "Twitter follow buttons" on their site that will send them directly to your twitter page so that they can decide to follow you. After all, if they are reading your site, they must have an interest in what you have to say.

Backgrounds for Twitter should present you, and what you feel to the world. Take some time thinking about what suits you, rather than rushing to replace the Twitter offerings with something below standard.
