Create a Custom 'Skin' for Your Twitter Account

By
Real Estate Agent with Associate Broker, Momentum Realty

If you are like me, you don't have time to do all the things you HAVE to do--much less the things you SHOULD do. I read an article today that said I should have  custom 'skin' as the background on my Twitter Account.

Well, I had a few free minutes and decided to go to the application, FreeTwitterDesign.com. It took me a couple of minutes, but I was able to give myself a custom background, upload my company logo and put in some basic contact information.

I read that it was important to put my contact info on the left side of my tweets so that browsers won't inadvertently cut it off.

There were a couple of quirky things about the application; Adding text wasn't easy and a couple of times, the mouse would not 'give up' some text even though a different piece of information was highlighted.

Despite the challenges, I think it was a worthy first effort...and it only took a couple of minutes.

I would love to have you follow me on Twitter. I use a very tricky name--hollyweatherwax. 

Let me know if you 'tweet' too and I will follow you. I know I have a lot to learn and the best way to learn is watching what others are doing and how they are using the technology!

Happy Tweeting!
