Make a Custom Twitter Background Using Scrapblog

May 27, 2009 | In: Community, Inspiration, Tips & Tricks, Twitter | By Rebecca

Hello Fellow Scrapbloggers!

Everyday we see more and more of you hopping on the Twitter train. We love seeing you share your scrapblogs using Twitter! I thought it would be fun to share with you a little project you can do. Put all that fabulous Scrapblog content to good use by making a custom Twitter background like this:
scrapblog-scrapblog-on-twitter

Step one: Create your Scrapblog page! *TIP* Leave the right side of the page blank of photos or elements because most of the right side will be covered by the main Twitter feed screen.

Step two: Save and Publish your page.

Step three: Export your page as a jpeg. Click File: Export as a Jpeg (see below)
Export as a Jpeg

Step four: Change your background on Twitter by choosing “settings” and then design:
Twitter Settings

Step five: Upload your Jpeg, you may want to try clicking the “tile” check box and click “save changes”
Twitter Upload

Have fun and show us what your Twitter background looks like!

Cheers!
Rebecca

    can you do the same for your whole background on blogger? I can do my header on blogger but not my background.

    I have created a page on scrapblog that I love. When I download it to my twitter page it just shows up in the top left hand corner as a small square. How do I get it i to cover the entire page?

    Hi Michele - You have to choose “tile background” from the design setting tab on Twitter. Email at rebecca@scrapblog.com if you still are having problems.
