September 2010 Desktop Calendar

At the beginning of every month, I am offering C&Z readers a new wallpaper to apply on the desktop of your computer, with a food-related picture and a calendar of the current month.

Our calendar for September is a picture of blackberries taken at the greenmarket in Split when we traveled to Croatia two years ago. The produce on display was gorgeous, and we bought enough fruit -- including some of those plump berry clusters, called kupina in Croatian -- to have ourselves a mini-feast on the seafront.

If I could just click my heels and be teleported there I would, but in the meantime I'll just re-read the highlights from our trip and dive back into my photoset. Care to hop along?

Instructions to get your calendar are below!

Here's how it works:

1- This link will open a new window (or tab) displaying the right wallpaper image for your screen.

2- Right-click (or ctrl-click for some Mac users) on the image, and chose the option that says, "Set as Desktop Background", "Use as Desktop Picture," or something to that effect -- the exact wording will depend on the browser you use.

3- If the image does not fit your desktop background neatly, you may have to go to your preference screen (on a Mac: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop; on Windows: Control Panel > Display > Desktop) and choose "Fit to screen" as the display mode of your background image.

4- Enjoy!

[Note: Readers of this blog live all around the globe, and I am unable to provide localized versions of the desktop calendar at this point. This is why I've opted for the international standard, by which a large majority of countries abide, and which states that Monday is the first day of the week.]
