For those who like some additional eye candy here's an entry:
Usually software like this comes either with a price and/or free with strings attached (a tool bar or some other spyware crap). So when I see something like this that, even though I may not even use it personally, I try to remember it. There have been so many times that I go to clean a computer and see limewire or the yahoo widget thing or whatever. These programs come bundled with spyware, a toolbar, etc. For the most part, a lot of people do not know that eMule is a great, free, clean alternative to limewire or kazaa.
So I'm starting to keep an inventory of these kinda things for the masses. The first two entries come from two places.
John's Background Switcher:
This is a small, clean program that will cycle through pictures and plaster them up on you desktop. Much like a screen saver but just replaces you background at intervals. It's pretty simple with a lot of options. And I'm actually using it right now.
Rocketdock:
This is another small, clean program that allows you to really pimp your desktop with a dock, much like those fancy ones you see impletmented on Apple's OS. Totally free, updated frequently, and awesome.
Links to these programs are found on the page, look for the Eye Candy Software group.
Have fun.

the backround switcher looks pretty cool.
and @ your comment
so i just completly suck at my website is that what your saying D:
comment on you own site about that. I read yours so let's keep it in context.
... and since your blog is down... i mean just come up with one you like and apply it. stop this teenage angst "everything i do sucks, but it's better than nothing." crap. you can do good layouts, so why not say, "you'll notice i have a new layout. I think is most righteous." or don't even mention the quality of your layouts. it just seemed like every other post was about a new layout and how it sucked. just my 2 cents.
