The “My Desktop Free View” Meme
This was a cool meme I got tagged for! Thanks Rosemarie.
In my desktop right now you see a barrage of icons! Most of them are Sandbox themes I have been trying all night. I’ve been searching for a combo of function and form and the one I whittled it down to is called “Black and Blue and Read all Over.” I would say it’s the one you see now but . . . well, you know ;)
The other icon of note is the “Sideblog” plugin folder. This is a new feature I have at the top of my sidebar now where I can post little “asides” to my readers. I have a feeling there is more to this plugin I haven’t learned yet, but for now it’s awesome and it replaces Twitter for the time being (I am still trying to figure out what the heck Twitter is even for, but I still like it).
Everything else is the usual clutter after a day of “exploration ;)” My desktop is different every hour more or less.

My Desktop Free View Instruction:
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:
[1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
[2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V).
[3] 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 as well.

Thanks for participating! Okay, where’s the cute pic or scenic background?
You have lots going on…that’s so obvious. I see your Google Desktop icon for your calendar. I think.
What a mess lol, but at least they’re the same file type nicely placed together. I see though that you’re one of those people as well which uses their desktop to place all the junk on they’re currently using :P.
@ Rosemarie: No prob! This is a fun one! I have the standard background from when I got this laptop. I do all the fun things on my blog :)
@Slevi: Yes I am like that. I am trying to do more in the "My Docs" folder but old habits die hard!
That’s what’s the desktop is for (in my opinion)…a working area. I sometimes end up with the same look…if I am doing some coding or working on a number of documents at the same time.
As far as Twitter goes…I am still warming up to this service. I think I would "tweet" more frequently if I were following more users…we’ll see.
I did mine..not very exciting, I’m afraid :)
@Chris: What’s your Twitter name? I’ll follow ya!
@Jessica . . . thanks for doin’ it girl!
Word up! Its ’sepiaband’.
Thanks Chris. Cool Twitters that I read :) Cool you have a band dude!
