With all these great renovations you’ve been doing, it won’t be long before people start beating a path to your Twitter door. Twitter sends you an e-mail message every time a kind person decides to follow you.
Similarly, you might be following as many people as you can handle, so you’re not interested in also following any of your new followers. If that’s the case, then you should follow these steps to tell Twitter to stop sending you an e-mail message each time someone follows you:

1. Sign in to your Twitter account.
2. Click Settings. The Settings page appears.
3. Click the Notices tab.
4. Deselect the Email when someone starts following me check box.
5. Click Save. Twitter updates your profile with the new setting.

Twitter account sets up your pages to use a collection of colors and images that are the same for all new accounts:
The page background is light blue.
The page background shows faint cloud-like images.
The sidebar uses a light green background.
The sidebar border is a slightly darker green.
The links are a darker blue.
The text is dark gray.

Here are the steps to follow to apply a predefined Twitter theme:
1. Sign in to your Twitter account.
2. Click Settings. The Settings page appears.
3. Click the Design tab.
4. In the Select a theme area, click a theme that looks promising. Twitter applies the theme temporarily.
5. Repeat step 4 until you find a theme that suits you.
6. Click Save Changes. Twitter updates your profile with the new theme.

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, your Twitter picture is the window of your account.To see what I mean, check out the list of Twitters shown in figure (this is a list of the people a particular account is following).See the picture in the lower right corner? That’s the generic image that Twitter displays when a user hasn’t taken the time to choose his or her own picture.

Once you’ve settled on an image that suits your style, follow these steps to add it to your profile:
1. Sign in to your Twitter account.
2. Click Settings. The Settings page appears.
3. Click the Picture tab.
4. Click Browse. If you’re using Safari, click Choose File, instead. A file selection dialog box
appears.
5. Choose the file you want to use, and then click Open. You can use either a JPEG or a PNG file, and the maximum size is 700KB.
6. Click Save. Twitter updates your profile with the new image.

When you created your Twitter account, you only had to specify three things about yourself: your name, the Twitter username you preferred, and a password for your account.
Here are the steps to follow to fill in these profile details:
1. Sign in to your Twitter account.
2. Click Settings. The Settings page appears.
3. Click the Account tab.
4. If you want to adjust your real name, edit the Name text box. Remember that other Twitter users usually rely on the real name to find people, so don’t be shy about using your full name (although remember that you only get 20 characters to play with here).
5. If you want to change the e-mail address that Twitter uses to communicate with you, edit the Email text box.
6. Use the Time Zone list to choose the option that most closely matches your time zone.
7. If you have a separate Web site or blog, use the More Info URL text box to type the address.
8. In the One Line Bio text box, type a short description of yourself. Somewhat oddly,Twitter gives you 160 characters here; limiting this field to 140 characters would seem more in keeping with the Twitter vibe, but there you go.
9. Use the Location text box to type your city, state, country, GPS coordinates, or any combination of the four (up to 30 characters).
10. Click Save. Twitter updates your profile.
