text: how do u retrive a desktop background from the internet? the webstite changed (jessemccartney.com) you need to ask the one who posted image for the image,or if its easy to create you can make it yourself or just crop from a screenshot if its a pattern (can be done in ms paint).    if you use ie 7 (the old version not the tabbed one) go to view>source. don't have to be an expert just look for any tag like this  and see if it has an appropriate title for what you're looking for. if not, move on.   if you use mozilla firefox, go to view>page source. a window will come up....click on the media tab. look for the url of the image,preview it and save it to your pictures folder. get to the folder right click>set as background.
