Accessing Bing Background Image via Google Chrome

A few hours ago I posted an article on how to get Bing's background images easily on Internet Explorer 8. Today's tutorial is with Chrome. With Chrome we are using the web inspector, and it really is almost as simple as Internet Explorer 8. I did another video tutorial on how to do it. You can follow the steps in the video and/or look at the instructions below.

Bing Download Wallpaper Button Appears Again

Earlier today I posted an article that covered how to download Bing wallpapers in Internet Explorer, the real easy way. This article will cover how to download the Bing wallpapers for those that did or are willing to connect their Facebook accounts to Bing. 

On Bing's homepage, there is a download button that can be use to download their images for free, for you to keep. The only catch to that is that you have to connect your Facebook account. If you have no issue doing this, then I'll show you how to quickly connect your Facebook account to Bing if you haven't done so already, and then you'll be able to download the wallpaper using the download button.

1. Go to the Bing Homepage
2. Click Connect now or you can sign in via clicking the download button on the page. You can also use the sign in link at the top right
3. Connect
4. Download your wallpaper.

After connecting the download button is located at the bottom right, near the bottom of the page. They look like the second image to the top right -- all the way on the right.

If you don't have a Facebook, don't worry. If you use IE8 I already have a tutorial out for you for how you can get around this.

Saving a Wallpaper from Bing using Internet Explorer 8

In a previous post I talked about one of Bing's images, and one of the reasons why I use Bing for most of my searches. I attached the wallpaper rather easily, and today I'm showing you how to download the Bing wallpapers using Internet Explorer 8. Don't worry if you use another browser, as I'll work on a tutorial on those later on.

As far as I know for now, this is the easiest way to grab the wallpaper. With other browsers you have to open up your web inspector to get the background image. You can still do so in Internet Explorer, but it's not required. A simple right click menu option lets you get the background as easy as possible, without having to use the web inspector.

Today's Featured Bing Wallpaper

I know that lots of you use Google as your search engine, but with it's upcoming removal of the ability to set a background for the Google homepage, I find that using Google as a home page less appealing now.

If you use Bing or not, you should know that Bing has a new wallpaper and/or video every day for it's background. Today's image involves space -- or so I believe. You can look at the image below, at the end of the post. It is the full resolution image, at least that is what I know of.

Background Images on Google Homepage Going Away Soon

A few minutes ago I was looking up some DNS apps for Android in the Google Play store, and then I decided to go back to the Google homepage by clicking the link in the page bar. As my background image for the Google search page was loading, I got this popup telling me that the feature will be going away soon. I thought I should share all of this with you as well so you can be prepared for when the feature is gone, if you never get or miss the notification.

Connecting Blogger to Google+

Starting today, I have decided to upgrade connect my Blogger account to Google+. This is carrying many improvements for Techman's World, and is making SEO easier, as well as just "human" SEO better.

Google+ is that social network on Google. It is along the lines of Twitter and Facebook, though I would say that it is closer to Facebook because you can actually speak and create posts similar to Facebook.

Announcement: Changes in the title HTML tag

If you have been visiting Techman's World over the past two days, you might have noticed that the title of posts in your browser has been a little bit changed.

What as going on was I have been recently making large strides to step up Techman's World SEO ranking. SEO is search engine optimization. SEO is very important in making web sites, because it affects how your site will be seen in search results from search engines around the web.

More changes coming for search

If you have been following Techman's World recently, then you know about the search box changes. I ended up ditching the Blogger gadget, and instead replacing it with a search form for Google.

Now I am proud to say that Techman's World is moving away from Google also, and now in its place is Gawk.it. This is a search engine that aims to redefine search imo, and it indexes comments as well as the blog posts.

So by the time you see this post, the search box will be replaced with Gawk.it's search form. If you wish to use Google at the moment, just open your browser's developer tools and highlight the Google attribution and form, and uncheck the display: none rules.

I would like to give thanks to Kevin Marshall for helping me get this set up, and I hope you all enjoy better search. If you want to submit feedback, you can in the comments below.

Introducing "Search This Site 2.0"

If you have been visiting my blog the last day or two, then you know that the normal search box is now gone, and in its place is another, but it is different. Before I dive in too deep, let me give you a little bit of back story.
