Tuesday Tech Tip: Add a background photo to your personal LinkedIn profile
Did you know that you can add a background image to your LinkedIn profile, just like you can with Facebook. To do this click Profile|Edit Profile in the top menu, then hover in the gray area just above your name and profile photo. There you should then see the Edit Background button. Click that to upload an image. LinkedIn is looking for a JPG, PNG, or GIF image under 8MG in size and a resolution of 1400 x 425 for the best fit. Once uploaded dragging of the image is available to correctly position before saving.
