Editing your Twitter profile page
Changing your display background
In Twitter, your display background will appear in the following 2 scenarios:
[1] When you log into Twitter, this is the display background you will see
[2] When other people visit your Twitter page, this is the image they will see in the background
For this little 'project,' I'm going to use a You Made it Weird logo image that I made; once you tile it, it's super purrrddddy.
I'm going to be using this image for the tutorial. If you're a 'weirdo' too (and I mean this in the best way possible) and want to use this image yourself, click here to open the image in a new tab; right click and save it to your computer.

Edit-- I've also drawn a tile-able Kyle Kinane image for his fans! To save the image, click here to open a window with the image; right click and save, as usual. Follow the instructions below as you would for any tile-worthy image.

Also, for funsies, you can tile the YMIW image for your desktop background to the same effect!
Peace out, 'weirdos.' :)
Edit--For those who used the Kyle Kinane image, it'll look like this:
