Re: Site promotion Screensavers
I don't care for screen savers either and never run one except the "blank" one that comes with the OS. I use it for security only (attach a password to it) so if I leave my computer for a while where others are around, they can not access my computer while I'm away. Wallpaper can be used to promote the photographer if it has his website information on it, but that's probably a very low level of promotion. The other problem with screen savers is that you are providing a download of an executable and so you usually have to make very sure it hasn't been hacked in some way. Since any site can be hacked, that means there is always a risk.
I suppose we could set up a forum Category called Wallpaper and let people post images to it. But even that has drawbacks. To make wallpaper effective you have to provide a number of full screen images (so you have to have multiple copies of the file with each being bigger than the last). So there is a bandwidth issue also.
Anyway, its something that RG can look at, and decide what he things.
Cheers,
rfs
