Great Wallpaper Site

Steve 3 comments

Lifehacker recently polled its readers for their choice of top wallpaper site on the web. After trimming the votes to the top five sites, the votes were tallied and InterfaceLIFT won out with 36 percent of the total. It didn’t take me long to input parameters such as "Widescreen" and my laptop’s resolution to find my new wallpaper:

Search options are easily configurable and, at least in my case, led me to exactly the types of images for which I was looking. Furthermore, you can refine your search to include specific screen sizes and resolutions, including HDTV 720p and 1080p, not to mention just about every imaginable widescreen monitor resolution:

So if you’re looking for new wallpaper, or just like looking at pretty cool images, take a look at InterfaceLIFT, and give your interface a lift!

    I have to thank you for that link, Kes. I really needed some new wallpapers, and that site is GREAT!

      Glad you liked it, Triz. :) I even found the original photo of my site banner art, so now I can credit the photographer. But yeah…there are some fantastic pictures there!

      In fact, for the first time ever, I’m seriously considering rotating wallpapers (something OS X handles quite easily).

        That’s what I did, rotating wallpapers (Win7 does it quite easily, too)

Thesis Theme for WordPress: Options Galore and a Helpful Support Community

Acknowledgements

First, a flourishing tip of the hat to Matt Mullenweg and the entire Automattic team for giving us the wonder that is WordPress.

Chris Pearson and the crew at DIYThemes deserve a huge round of applause for the Thesis Theme for WordPress. You lot make it look like I know how to write CSS and php!

However, even with Thesis, I'd never have made the site look half as good without the fantastic, step-by-step tutorials by a wonderful Aussie lady,Amelia Briscoe at Thesis Video Tutorials. Couldn't have done it without you!

Finally (saving the best for last), the Aerie would still be gathering dust if not for the occasional poke from my dear friend, Tami Moore. Her good-natured wheedling culminated in an offer to host a guest article from me, and was the spark that reignited my blogging fires. Even embiggened virtual hugs aren't enough to express what Tami's friendship means to me.
