Adding or changing information on your Twitter profile isn't difficult. Read on for information about how to update your Twitter profile with ease.

Step 1: Log In to Twitter

To update your Twitter profile, you'll first need to log in to your Twitter account. If you have not created one, you must join Twitter before you can add profile information.

Once you have successfully logged in, click the "Settings" tab to begin the profile updating process. "Settings" is located in the upper right-hand side of your Twitter home page. Once you reach the main Settings page, click on "Profile." You are now ready to begin updating your Twitter profile.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFoj4FZn97g

Step 2: Edit Your Twitter Profile

If you'd like to add a different photo (or a new photo if you don't have one already) to your Twitter profile as part of your update, you can do so by using the Pictures section. Click "Browse," and you'll be able to select an image to use. If you already have a profile picture (as opposed to a Twitter default image) and you want to change it, click "Change Image." You can then select a new Twitter photo to use. Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page to save your new image.http://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/107-my-profile-account-settings/articles/127871-how-to-change-your-profile-picture-or-information

Once you've added a photo, you can begin adding additional profile information. You may choose to add your location. You can also add a link to your own personal blog or web page. As you add new information to your profile, you'll need to again click the "Save" button to ensure that the new information is stored.http://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/107-my-profile-account-settings/articles/127871-how-to-change-your-profile-picture-or-information

Finally, you can add a brief Bio to your profile (less than 160 characters). This can be anything - a brief synopsis of who you are and/or what you do. Once you are happy with your Bio information, click "Save" to complete the process.http://support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/107-my-profile-account-settings/articles/127871-how-to-change-your-profile-picture-or-information
