Well, we have great news for you. The lifehacker Web site recently featured some terrific online sources for free desktop wallpaper. Now there isn&#8217;t any reason to stare at a boring computer screen during your downtime.<\/p>\n<p><b>Desktops by Artists<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of the sites highly recommended by lifehacker is the Desktop Wallpaper Project. The project, found at the art blog The Fox is Black, each Wednesday showcases the work of a designer or artist who has created an original image perfect for your computer monitor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Two Monitors? No Problem<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The writers at lifehacker also recommended the Dual Monitor Project, but only for users who like to work with more than one monitor on at the same time. The Dual Monitor Project, as its name suggests, designs wallpapers that are supposed to be viewed together on more than one monitor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wallpaper Gets Social<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Social Wallpapering combines desktop wallpapers with the world of social media. It&#8217;s a surprisingly natural fit. Users can vote up or down specific wallpapers, so it&#8217;s easy to find wallpapers that have already received their fair share of thumbs-up recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sick of your desktop wallpaper?
