Twitter is a neat networking site known for it’s micro statuses that often bring the news faster than the actual news stations. It can be a great tool for business and information gathering, but does have some technical challenges associated with setting up a good looking page. Twitter backgrounds are an important part of a good looking Twitter page, but can be hard to get positioned properly. The amount of real estate that shows through on a picture is very limited because Twitter has the feed and other elements covering 70-80% of the background image.

Below we have created 5 free Twitter backgrounds that fit properly and will give a nice look to your page. Try them out by first clicking on the Twitter background you want to launch the full size version, then right-clicking on the Twitter backgrounds and the choose “Save Image As” from the drop down menu. Next, choose a location to save the image to that will be easy to find later when retrieving the image for Twitter. The Desktop can be a good location as it is easy to find the image on it.

Go into Twitter and click on the gear icon in the top right corner and click on it. A drop down menu pops down, select “Settings” from this menu. Next, click on the “Design” option in the side menu to the left (see image).

Now that we are on the Design page, scroll down to the option titled “Customize your own” and click the button labeled “Change background” and then select the Twitter background from your desktop. That’s it!

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
