This category is reserved for finds by our Editor Rhiannon Dent.
Items should consist of at least two paragraphs.
The first should be a "teaser" paragraph. This paragraph will be automatically published in our RSS feed. It should state the nature of the find and the benefits without mentioning the product name or providing a product link. For example:
"For months I've been looking for a good way of deleting 'undeletable' files. Finally I've discovered a free utility that does the job reliably and simply."
The second paragraph should at the very least, expand the benefits, name the product and provide a product link. For example:
"Unlocker is a tiny 230KB utility that works with Windows 2000 and XP. Vista users are out of luck. Just right click on the 'undeletable file', select 'Delete with Unlocker' from the context menu and next time you boot the file will be gone for good."
You can have a third paragraph if you wish; indeed as many as you like. However there must at least be a second paragraph after the opening "teaser" paragraph.

This weeks wallpaper is a mountain hillside reflected in a mist and fog filled river valley. Soft shades of blue ranging to lavender and pink soften the outlines of hills on either side of the still river. A line of trees and a shoreline add some contrasting sharper lines to an otherwise ethereal scene. Icons show up quite well even in the lighter parts of this background.

This weeks wallpaper is an image of dark willow trunks and branches against a sunrise colored in soft hues of purple, orange, pink and yellow. The image is likely digitally enhanced or manipulated, but that doesn't detract from its impact. Icons show up pretty well on this softly colored yet dramatic wallpaper.
This week's wallpaper shows off a monochrome photo of a furled water lily bud on a platform of water-bedecked lily pads.
This is a great background for anyone who likes calm, even toned backgrounds with a small pop of brightness. Icons show up well in most areas of this wallpaper.
This weeks wallpaper is a long exposure photo of the night sky reflected in a mountain lake. The solid black mountains surround a small lake with a blue starry sky above. An orange glow over the mountains adds a touch of warmth. This photo almost looks like a poster, with its sharp outlines and complementary colors, but some twinkling lights in seemingly far off valleys offset the effect. Icons do quite well with this background in most areas.
