Making a custom background for my Twitter blog to stand out from the endless cloud background on Twitter has been a goal of mine for awhile.
I finally found a resource to teach even photoshop challenged, design flunkies like me how to do it.
I am getting more followers since I tweaked my Twitter because they know at a glance someone is really working here and not just spamming Twitter with automated messages (although I do send my RSS feeds there as well).
I actually used GIMP to make my background image. It was easy with the instructions included at CronCast, to make a killer background and customize my Twitter to be much different than the majority of Twitter blogs out there.
