Daily Updates Poll
For the end, i need Your help :) For the last month or so i was thinking about changing the way i work on site a little bit. As many of you who are regular visitors noticed updates became less frequesnt in previous months (reasons for that are not important but are justified by changes in my private life)... Sometimes i simply can't start update if i don't have 3-5 hours to finish it so it gets delayed... day by day... So, i decided to ask You - BasketWallpapers.com visitors and basketball fans what should i do :) So i was thinking to start posting 1-2 wallpapers per day as it should be less time consuming and it would be easier for me to prepare and post updates...
Below is link to simple online poll with question... Voting is over, no
need to vote anymore :)
- I'll keep it open for 10-15 days.
Voting form was here, no need to vote anymore
Thanks to all who vote and help me decide which direction should my work on site go :)

New Partner-Site Opened
One more post for the end of this update - i have some news for all of you basketball fans :)
In last 2-3 days i was busy opening new partner site of BasketWallpapers.com...
New site is
BasketballWalls.com, here's quote that should explain why i needed new site:
"After 4 years of working on BasketWallpapers.com i ended up with hundreds and
hundreds of mid-quality wallpapers on my HD i didn't want to publish... Most
common reasons were:
1. Wallpapers were outdated (player changed team, or event wallpaper represented
took place long time ago...)
2. Wallpapers were too small for today's standards (lower then 1280x960 or
1280x800 resolutions)
3. Wallpapers were made by basketball fans so their quality wasn't good enough
to reach high standards i had for BasketWallpapers.com..."
I found solution that allows me to keep posting only the best wallpapers here
but to use everything people make and send to me... Hope you will like idea and
that you'll find some useful stuff on new site :)

Summer Vacation and New Web Site
Now as i said, few words about me and reasons why i was late/delayed with this
last update :)
1. I am going on 10 days vacation with my g/f and few of my best friends and
their girlfriends :) we're leaving tomorrow and will be back near end of the
month, there's chance that we will stay more then 10 days if we have some good
time and good weather ofc :) sea with bad weather is not worth anything :)
that's why i delayed update for few days... because i wanted to split time i
won't be adding anything new a bit... if i posted update 3-4 days ago when i
planned site would be left for more then 20 days with nothing new... this way i
posted today and will do it again in about 10-15 days :)
2. Second reason is that i recently started working on new web site with
colleague of mine... it won't be related to basketball but to security on social
networks like FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, Hi5 and similar popular sites :)
project is huge, idea is great and everyone close to me who i talked to about it
had positive reactions... i think i'll need month or so after i get back from
this vacation to finish it and get it going...
See you all when i get back home,
Dejan M. akd Admin :)

Online First Aid Certification
There are people everywhere who would like
to become certified in first aid, but few who have the
time and money to take the class. Most of the time, the
class will require you to travel and if you miss any
part of it, you will not be certified. Plus, sometimes
the classes go very quickly and are difficult to follow
along with, which makes it hard for some learners.
Ultimately, what you really want to be able to do is
help someone in an emergency situation. If that is what
you want to do, now there's a new option for you.
Online first aid certification
is an acceptable and more convenient way to become
certified in first aid. Whether you need to do it for
your job or you just simply want to do it so that your
family is safer, the online option makes the course
available for anyone who has a computer and access to
the internet. What's even greater is you can do it on
your own time and you won't have to travel long
distances to make it happen. It is possible for you to
become certified in the time that it takes you to watch
a movie. Plus, you can take the course at your own pace.
People love having the option to take online first aid certification
classes. Most people who want to become certified
sincerely care about others and just want to be helpful
in bad situations. It is possible for you to become
certified, so what are you waiting for? You've put it
off for far too long. Make an investment in your future
and the future of people in danger around you. If you've
ever wondered what it feels like to be a hero, you just
might have that chance.
Classic Movie Posters
Hey, do you remember buddy of mine who
opened wristband web site? He launched few more sites
and i'm giving him a hand again, on this site he sells
posters of all kinds, he gave me text about his movies
posters category :) here's what he wrote about his site:
" Movie posters
today serve a much different function than they did many
years ago. When Hollywood first started to put out
feature length movies, there were no expensive
television commercial campaigns and no viral marketing
on the internet to gather interest in their movies. The
movie studios relied almost completely on the classic
movie posters to gather all the interest needed to get
people to get out seeing the movie. Aside from the
trailers that would show in the theaters, the classic
movies posters needed to act as the marketing tool and
exciting commercial that would grab people's interest.
Back in the 1930's and 1940's classic movie posters
were exciting and colorful. The movie poster was one of
the only ways that the studio could give the audience a
quick impression of what the movie was like, so a poster
needed to tell a story all on its own. Take the classic
movie posters and put them side by side with today's
movie posters and you will see a noticeable difference.
Today's posters are about image and trying to associate
the movie with one key part that people may remember.
The movie posters
of years gone by are trying to tell the story of the
movie in one brilliant image. They are works of art in
their own right, and they deserve a place in any movie
making museum.
Any collector of movie artifacts needs to have some
classic movie posters to make their collection complete.
Hollywood has not been the same since the television
commercial came around, the need to put effort and
thought into the movie poster has all but disappeared.
Luckily we have the remnants of those glory days to
remind us of what a really good movie poster looks
like."
If you have few minutes please check out his site, thanks to all in advance :)

Finally Back :)
Finally... After like 10 days i'm back :) I'm in new house, it took us several
days to get things setup, also i was sick for few days, but it's all finished
now and i have Internet connection :) it's dial up lol, but it will be good
until i get ADSL again... i have already signed up contract with ISP and now i'm
waiting for them to prepare some tech stuff on their end and to give me a call
when it's all done to come and get modem :) honestly i can't wait to get it, it
will be 1024k/128k connection, 2 times faster then one i had :)
Now, to get back to stuff you're most interested into - wallpapers :) i will
start adding them again, either today or from tomorrow :) i'm so happy to be
back, i missed all this believe it or not :)
Moving to New Home
Here's copy/paste of msg i posted on my tennis site: "Well as i said in title,
i'm moving to new home in next few days and i'll be away for some time because i
won't have access to Internet for some time... I hope it will be all solved in
next 10 days tops but just in case it doesn't i wanted to let you all know why
i'll be away :)"
So as i said on other site, i hope that i'll be back with new wallpapers soon :)

Basketball Legends
Hi all, i have a surprise for you :) You know all leagues are finished, both
NBA, Euroleague, most of countries leagues and cups, etc... The first
interesting basketball event will be at Olympics but until then we have "empty"
month or two so i have decided to use this time to look back in history and add
some of the legendary players to site...
The idea came from nomination of "50 greatest Euroleage contributors" that was
published recently :) Players and coaches who got these awards are mostly foreign,
from Europe, but true
basketball lovers should know all of them because most of them, if not all,
would be parts of the best European or NBA teams today (some from the list did play in
NBA and some still do)... Also i will add American legends as i want to cover as
much old players that mustn't be forgotten as possible so i recommend all of you to stay with me :)
Dejan M. :)
New RSS Feed
Hey everyone, i have good news :)
i have added new RSS Feed that will be updated each time new wallpaper is added
on site so feel free to add it to your feed readers. Link to rss feed is located
in footer (bottom) of home page, just scroll down to the end of page and you'll
see it :) Now you won't need to visit site all the time to see if something new is added,
rss feed will let you know when updates are posted... saves some time :)

Good News People :)
Good news everybody :) i'm back, healthy and with new design and site looks 100% finished :) from tomorrow you can expect new wallpapers on site and also that new design will be on it... Thanks all for patience but you know i was sick, at one point doctors even thought i got mononucleosis (if i spelled it correctly) :( so it was not good at all but it's all ok now and i'm back :) and i'm happy because of it so much...
Dejan :)
Short Update
hey ppl i have two news, good and bad one...
first bad one - i'm sick again :( i've spent last 2 days in bed coughing, drinking teas, lemonades and antibiotics :( i hope i'll get over it in next few days, i already feel a bit better but still far from good...
good news is that just before i got sick i have started working on new design of this site, it will be wider (for 1024x768 screen resolution, instead of 800x600), also it will be easier to use with simpler menus, probably less ads, and better categories organization (everything will be sorted by countries, won't be all mixed like now)... I am sure it will be huge improvement for site, it will require lots of work but will be all good :)
and the last thing, i want to say thanks to several of you who have sent me wallpapers and pictures by upload wallpapers tool (Lebron, KG from All-Star, Kevin Durant, Denver Nuggets White Logo and few others), thank you all :)
Dejan :)
Few words...
Hi all :) i just wanted to post few words and to show you reason why i have updated this site a bit less then usual in last 10-15 days...
First i was concerned about political problems in my country (i'm from Serbia and probably most of you know what happened here
about a week ago, Kosovo independence, attacks on embassies, reactions from all over the World to all that etc...
Very stressful for everybody and i wasn't in mood to work on sites at those moments, i know you all understand. No one can work
when he doesn't know if his/hers country might get bombed by NATO or isolated from World in very near future)...
But that wasn't all, before and after those couple of tense days i was working on new site
Wallpapers Talk and i have added
some tools on it, tools you can see at top of this site, just under the header - Upload Wallpapers and Resize Wallpapers. Feel
free to use both of those to send me wallpapers you made or ones you found on the Internet if you think others might like them
and to resize wallpapers you have (this is perfect for people who are not good with graphics software or just can't be bothered
with using them). I'm planing to add forum to wallpapers talk also but i'm not sure when, i'll let you all know when i open it :)
Also i want to use this chance to say thanks to all of you who are visiting this site, to those of you who registered accounts
and to say thanks in advance to all of you who will send me wallpapers and help me to make this website better then it's now :)
Enjoy Your day everybody,
Dejan M. :)
Valentines day reminder :)
Hey all of you basketball fans who are visiting my site, don't forget that Valentines day is coming :) 5 more days...
Go and buy some nice present or some flowers for your beloved one, or prepare some surprise (maybe romantic dinner or something
like that, you know what women want, and no i'm not talking about movie with Mel Gibson haha). Anyway, don't leave shopping
for the last day ;)
Dejan M. :)
Out of town for few days
Just quick note to let you all know i'm out of town since yesterday and will be here for few more days :) i'm posting from my
cell phone atm, no pc here... but when i come back i'll prepare one good update for all of you to make it up ;)
See you all soon,

Happy New Year :)
New year is near, very near... Few more hours and we'll be in 2008. :)
I wish you all to have great new year celebration with people you love and care about and to have 2008 at least a
bit better then 2007 was for you. :)
Also i want to say thanks to all of you who are visiting this web site and to all of you who have written to me in last
3 months, since site was opened. Year 2007 is finished with little more then 50 wallpapers, i promise now that i'll
make sure to finish year 2008 with at least 550 wallpapers :)
Again, have fun tonight and good luck in 2008 :)
Dejan M.
I'm back finally
