Customize Your Twitter Profile - Three Ways== By David Perdew Platinum Quality Author

One of the most basic, yet very important things that everyone should learn how to do when they join Twitter, (aside from limiting posts to 140 characters) is how to customize their profiles.
Your name, website, bio, photo, and background are the main things you can customize aside from your tweets, and they do make a difference. Taking the time to creatively design these aspects of your Twitter profile can make a difference in the number of people who want to follow you on Twitter.
 
How to Customize your Twitter Profile
Log on to your Twitter account. At the top of your Twitter account page, click "Profile." This will bring you to a page that lists your tweets and follow stats.
Click the "Edit your profile" link. This will take you to a page that allows you to make changes to your account.
Your Bio: Under the "profile" tab you can edit your name and location and you can enter a URL for your website. You also have 63 characters for your "bio" where you can talk about who you are, add a company slogan, include your favorite quote, or add something that will send a message about you or your company. Make the most of it!
Your Image: You can change the photo on your Twitter account by clicking "Change image" on the "Edit your profile" page. You can use a logo, a mobile photo, or a picture file from your computer. Images are very important, so add something of quality. If you are using a headshot of yourself, don't be afraid to change it every once in a while in order to keep your profile fresh.
Your Background: You can customize your Twitter account's background by clicking the "Design" tab and selecting one of the choices provided. Fortunately, you are not limited to these choices thanks to a variety of Twitter tools, including Themeleon and Twitr Backgrounds. Twitr Backgrounds offers nearly 800 free backgrounds or you can order a customized background for $89.00. If you have images of your own to use, you can upload up to four photos to this Twitter app and create your own background for free.
Try adding information to your Twitter profile and customizing your Twitter "presence." It can help you attract new followers and keep the ones you already have.
