Easy Meme-age
So Carrie Lofty tagged me with this meme, and it's an easy one, so I'm gonna do it. I know everyone is dying to see what my desktop looks like. So without further ado...
Lessee, what else am I supposed to do? Oh, explain my desktop. Well, I like the picture, and I can't have naked men on my screen since I have children wandering in and out. I keep my computer desktop pretty clean, along with my office. I find it hard to work when I'm surrounded by clutter, and that goes for my desktop too. About once a week I delete stuff and sort all my e-files to the folders where they ought to be (music, Word, pictures, and such).
Here's how you play:
A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).If you wish, you can "edit" the image, before saving it.
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop.
D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.
List of Free Viewers:
iRonnie, Thess, Rebecca, Knoizki, Beng, Tina, Rachel, Alice, Julia, Darla, Carrie, Ann
I tag:
Cora, Ciar, April, L, Devon
Some of you astute souls out there may have noticed that my desktop theme is part of my new blog template. Right you are! I spent most of last night redecorating around here. What do you think? I was going for something more streamlined, and I'm quite liking this.
EDIT: Woohoo! Problem solved.
Cynthia Eden's husband, Nicholas, who is as handsome as he is brilliant, troubleshot (is that a word?) my template, and the inline comments look just as good as the rest of the template.
So how do you like it? I think it's sleek and tasty.

And we're going with Kensington...
Grats! I foresee an announcement.
In other news, I've got an infestation of paparazzi over at my blog. It's a real crush here on the red carpet. But I'm quite certain I heard your name whispered in the crowd...
Unfortunately I have no answers for you. :(
And why is your desktop so neat and clean. Sheesh, first your nice clutter free office and now this... :-)

Wise color choices. You could have chosen electric yellow over black and made people collapse in an epileptic attack, but you didn't.
I knew you were a humanitarian at heart. =D
susan -- it looks good, doesn't it? But the problem is fixed now, thanks to Nick.
I love how readable it is, and I think it blends nicely with my Ann Aguirre site and my MySpace page (which was sort of the point). I wanted a more integrated look.
gwyneth -- your wish is my command. :)
L -- you know, I was just talking to Lauren Dane about bad templates. I especially dislike the ones with lots of flashing gifs, sparkly this, and glittery that. I like a little bit of bling, which is why my links are sparkly, but too much makes it hard to read the page.
BTW, the blog looks great!
