Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly do you install these as wallpaper backgrounds, whats the specific path to place them?

if you are browsing with a iPad you may tap and hold one finger on the image. Save the image then go to Settings/Wallpapers/camera roll and choose the one you saved. If you are on a laptop or desktop. Right click save to desktop or picture file. Go to file and set as desktop.
Hope this helps.
Ronzo,
It did indeed help, thanks for the assist and reply to my question!
