The "wallpaper" is my own creation, featuring my beautiful girlfriend.   

I just enjoy using a nice stable OS (XP Pro) with Stardock products where my systems can fly:

Wall = Haruko with Rickenbacker http://chibitaryn.deviantart.com/

WB = VXP2 by vStyler http://vstyler.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=5907&libid=1

IP (and dock icons) = The Last Order by Rokey https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=1192&libid=2

Note - special thanks to vStyler for the fast skin.

While I am at it, I might as well throw the desktop up as well:

Wall = Quiet Moment by clasixart http://clasixart.deviantart.com/

WB = Alysseum-Plus by Gabriel https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=5695&libid=1

WB = Pikmin by Pixtudio
IP = nVidia also by Pixtudio

The wall's still my own "creation" featuring my girlfriend

I use 'ImageShack' for my image server (it is a free site for hosting images), then simply use the 'Insert Image' button above the comment text box to paste the "direct-link" image address which is supplied by ImageShack once the image is uploaded to the account.

I believe the new coding here at WC is responsible for the resize and bar above the image.

There are a few such sites. Here is a link to 'ImageShack' http://imageshack.us/ - just create an account and upload an image > select the 'details' button to view the image > click the 'Get Links' button below viewed image > copy direct link address > then come here and place the copied address in the 'Insert Image' text box to place it.

Note - make sure to select the 'Remove size / resolution bar from thumbnail' when uploading the image to ImageShack, otherwise you will end up pasting a thumbnail image with a black bar on top here.
