*Though ''[[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]'' was created in 1996, it was [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007|scanned and digitally colored in 1997]]. This is why the first stage in the "Evolution of Homestar" wallpaper is dated to '97 instead of his origin in 1996.

*The Homestarmy poster was originally put up with the letter "m" removed, making it say "Homestary." Only a few hours after being up, the wall paper was changed to include the "m."

=== Remarks ===

*In the "Everybody, Everybody" wallpaper, [[The Poopsmith]]'s lower arms are orange, while his upper arms are stained.

*Viewing the Flash file of the wallpaper pop-up ([[oldHR:hsicons/wallpaper.swf|http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpaper.swf]]) instead of going through the Downloads page causes the links to not work. They come up as [[oldHR:hsicons/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg|http://www.homestarrunner.com/'''hsicons/'''wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg]] instead of [[oldHR:wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg|http://www.homestarrunner.com/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg]] (for example).
