I mentioned in another thread I wanted to make monthly wallpaper calendars for your desktop background. I have October's finished, and I would like to have full screen resolution links for you to get the image from, but I need someone's help (maybe Jim's?). I have an account at Photobucket, but they downsize your images, therefore defeating the purpose of the image.

So, if someone has a good image hosting site where you can upload large images, or if Jim wants to help out and host a few pics, that'd be great.

For now, here's a little teaser...

The other respondents are correct that there are lots of ways to do it -- e.g. I think if you upload full size to flickr, it's downloadable full size.

However, I'm also always happy to help out with this sort of thing. If you want, drop me a note and we can figure out how to get them all posted all full res...

I've now added a Widescreen version, and I've also uploaded a version of each without the calendar option.

I'll learn from my mistakes with this one, so hopefully the future ones are better. Enjoy :)

Awesome! Thanks! Can I make a suggestion for the next month? Consider putting the dates on the right side of the screen... a lot of people have their icons on the left side so the dates are partially covered. But thanks again :)

This is really awesome! Thanks for sharing these! I would also like to make a request for next month, and that would be some sort of way to tell the difference between HOME and AWAY games (could be as simple as an @ sign in front of the opposing team when it is an AWAY game). Thanks again!

Yeah, I figured that would be the case with the dates...I wanted to do a little more of an actual "calendar" but figured it'd be too small on a lot of screens, so I did the bars. Also, I knew it would be a problem for some people having the games on the left side, but I didn't want to put them on the right because it looks visually "wrong" to have Kristo skating off the screen than towards the middle of it.

I can try making a few tweaks and seeing where it goes.

I started the November one about a week ago, haven't spent much time since. I think I'll put in a couple hours before work today, so maybe I'll have something up by then. ;)

Well, I pretty much finished the wallpaper, but don't have time to make different aspects and then upload before I work tonight, so here is a little teaser for now.

Ben Blood welcomes you to November. :)
