Where to find desktop wallpaper
Boy… I’m finding a ton of Lifehacker articles to post about… and here is another one… Where to find desktop wallpaper. I know that I’m always on the look for more desktop sites and images. Now… they mention at least these three:
- http://deskphotos.com/ – Neat, but not great… IMO…
- http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/ – You know… I never would have thought of NG…
- http://www.pdphoto.org/ – A nice royalty free site…
Web Photos Pro
I was reading my bloglines and came across this article from Photo Matt that references this site (Web Photos Pro %u2014 Software for Photo Bloggers and other Photo Power Users) and I totally agree that it is a very good site and it shows another example of what you can do with WP…
Site updates
Well, you will notice some “dust flying around” as well as some “cussing and banging” going on here. I’ve decided to upgrade to WP 1.5-beta and it’s a “bigger upgrade” than I thought… but it’s nothing that I can’t work through…
Anyway, you see that my “design” is different. It’s currently based on Arzel Blue theme I downloaded from his site (Thanks for the help Arzel!!!). It’s going to take me awhile to get my “hands around” the different way WP 1.5 handles the styles and such compared to the 1.2 version I was running. But I’ll get working on it and I can already see some things that I’ll really like about this new version of WP. I’m leaving all of Arzel’s comments and pointers; that is until I can do my rebuild… then I’m going to include him on my “list of people I’ve learned things from” page.
More Plugins
Here is a set of plugins that I’m not going to do yet… want to go play my games:
- A number of good plugins here – including: WordPress 1.2 WAP, and WordPress 1.2 Poll
- style sheet chooser – and I’m not doing this because right now I only have one style sheet…
- group archives by year – and I really like this one (I saw it on someone else’s page and I think it’s neat
- event calendar – no time right now and really, no events to put up anyway
Oh.. and so I don’t forget, I just finally got the Amazon Wish List plugin to work… It displays a random item from my Amazon Wish List.
Great site for WP info
I ended up here (Blog | 1976design.com) during my review of sites with WP plugins and such. And this is one of the good sites. Here are some links to things that I found here:
- main blog page
- about the author – and he talks about how he made the top image for this blog… neat
- cute post and example of his JS comments functions
- his post about navigating blog comments
BTW, the really neat section on JS comments/navigating blog comments are WOW!!!
