New Background Tiles: Polka Dots!

Having fun with polka dots!

Call it the influence of modern pop culture. Or not. The "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" tune has been swirling around in my head ever since a certain yogurt company's commercial featuring that tune aired every start of the year when women supposedly are dieting like crazy to fit into their swimsuits. Yogurt, and other milk products, reportedly help you lose weight. Okay, so that's the basis for this background tile's creation.

But instead of just yellow polka dots, I've created pink, green and blue polka dot background tiles. All come with a sample page to see what they look like tiled on a page and with download instructions.

Check out the page now.

New Calendar Desktop Wallpaper

The month of April is only a couple of weeks away, so here's the April desktop calendar for you to download now. Might as well get a head start, no? This month I decided to do a flowery daffodil with greenery decor calendar. The font used is called "Penguin Attack" by Dustin Norlander. It's a curly and somewhat girly font face but appropriate with the daffodils. Spring comes in a few days, so what better way to celebrate April than with some spring flowers!

You can either install the desktop calendar now or download it to your computer's hard drive to install later. Instructions are on the download page of whichever size you choose. These come in 800x640, 1024x819 and 1280x1024 sizes.

As to tomorrow's holiday in some areas of this globe, I already have a shamrock side border background on site. Sorry, no corned beef and cabbage to go with that.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Changes to Web Graphic Sets Pages

I've removed a set type, created a new set type and moved sets to other types.

First, the set type called "Home, Kids & Pets" was removed and all of those sets moved to "Simple Table Sets." Second, I created a new set type called "Left Border Sets." Last, three sets in "Simple Table Sets" were moved to two other types because the setup of those sets more closely resemble their new set types. Those sets are "Pretty Pink Roses" and "Poppies," which were moved to the newly-created set type of "Left Border Sets," and "I Heart You," which was moved to "Double Border Sets."

All of these changes put sets into the type that best describes the layout of the set. In the case of moving sets out of "Home, Kids & Pets," the layout of those sets were simple tables. The "Home, Kids & Pets" set type was the only one that described the sets' target user or subject rather than type of layout. These changes are noted on all affected pages mentioned above.

More sets are in the works in both the non-exclusive and exclusive categories. The debut of the exclusive sets may be delayed into the next quarter, though, as I'd like to offer more than one set in the debut and I haven't figured out the layout of the Kagi page.

Stay tuned!
