It is best to use a jpeg file format of less than 800K in size. You may also use Gif or Png formats as well. Select 'Settings' from your profile or home page.
Next select, 'Design' from the menu options that appear along the Settings tab bar.
Select 'Change Background Image' below the standard themes.
Then select from the window the option to 'Choose file', select the jpg file that you wish to use from the selection window. Make sure you also click on the 'Save' button.
A message sttating that your custom design has been saved should appear at the top of the browser window. The photo should appear as a background. I had a small amount of trouble having my selected photo appear and am not sure what the actual problem was. I suspected the Twitter server was bogged down at the time I was loading in the photo.
I had tried using Firefox Browser and then decided to use Safari. The problem persisted and I was not able to see the photo as a background. I decided to try one last thing. I went from my Twitter home page to the settings, selected design again and this time clicked on the blue background square and save changes button without reloading the photo and it appeared. Not sure which or if anything I did caused the photo to appear as a background or if Twitter servers became agreeable to display the image with the passage of time.
