Twitter Overkill?

Twitter Overkill!

As can be seen in my sidebar, I have a twitter account and usually send several “tweets” each day. When I first started using Twitter I had much less followers and wasn’t following as many people as I am now, and I was happy with that as I was still working out what the service was and it’s uses. These days however, I’m following more people and having more conversations and it has proven useful in the past when asking questions and receiving advice both from people I follow and from others. However, I’ve noticed that some people I’ve had to stop following because of the sheer volume of their tweets has made all the other ones get lost in the crowd.

Twitter

Now, there has probably been thousands of blog posts about Twitter, with the majority of them concentrating on the frequent downtimes that Twitter suffers. There’s even been the odd blessay on the subject, such as the ones by Elliot Jay Stocks.

Now you’re probably expecting me to launch into a rant and rave about the downtime and other problems about the social network, but you’d be wrong! My problem with Twitter is getting the background image on my twitter page to change. I follow the steps meticulously and conform to the image sizes, but when I press save the background goes to all white!

The image is within the correct file size and type – actually it is a JPG sized at 166 KB which is well within the 800KB limit but it just will not show at all. I think the main reason I’m wanting to change the background is so that it reflects the look and feel of this site in order to provide a consistent web presence for myself. It’s not a huge issue as it is not affecting the functionality of my twitter but is one of those annoying wee quirks that exist on the interweb which bug me from time to time.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this working, I will be eternally grateful!
