Computers will come with a default background set by the computer producers themselves.

This is very useful to me because I have a laptop and I like to change up the pictures every once in a while. I also like that this introduced me to different ways of setting up a background on my laptop. I usually use pictures on my iCloud but now I can also put wallpapers of things I like and not necessarily have in my iCloud. You have made the blog really easy to follow through and the language is accessible to anyone. Anyone can enjoy this blog and that attracts many viewers. I think you can be more enthusiastic in order to invite the audience.
ReplyDeleteHello, Thank you for your good feedback and suggestions! In terms of suggestions though, I will be leaving it as it is as I don't feel that someone can be so amused with doing these steps compared to accomplishing the task of creating something or making something work.
DeleteThis is a well-chosen topic. It is a simple process that is done on the computer, but at the same time, may not be intuitive to anybody who has not done this before. Judging from the comments both the young and old can benefit from this blog (but the people in their 30's already know how to do this).
ReplyDeleteI do have a pretty big design complaint which is that the font changes too often and is often VERY small. Perhaps looking around on the internet could have given you an idea of a sort of standard font size.
Good work.
