Google Homepage Wallpaper...nice feature!

If you set Google as your Homepage you can now put your favorite "desktop wallpaper" on the page for the background...it will either put on of theirs or give you the option to search your computer and upload one of your favorite photos!

Very fun feature...check it out!

Here's the scoop and photos how to do it....



Google wrote in a blog post:

Today, we're introducing a new feature that brings a whole new level of personalization to Google by letting you add a favorite photo or image to the background of the Google homepage. You can choose a photo from your computer, your own Picasa Web Album or a public gallery hosted by Picasa which includes a selection of beautiful photos.
Information Week reports that, according to an email from Google, customizing Google.com with a background image will not slow the search engine's load time.
Here's how to add your own picture:
Click "Add a background image and make Google your own" (under the search box).


Log in to Google and select a background image (from a public Picasa gallery, your Picasa album, your computer, or 'Editor's Picks')

You're done! To remove, click "Remove background image," located on the bottom right-hand side of Google.com
The "wallpaper Google" feature will let users make Google.com look more like how they'd like it to appear--but it will also make Google look more like Bing, Microsoft's rival search engine, which features a new background image every day.
