Favicons made easy

I used to find it to be a chore to create a favicon for my websites, but the last time I did a google search I found http://www.favicon.cc/ which allows for the easy creation of a favicon either pixel by pixel or by the upload of an image.  After that it’s a simple download and then upload to your hosting.

Wondering why to use a favicon, what it is, and more: (From Wikipedia)

favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a shortcut iconwebsite iconURL icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel square iconassociated with a particular website or webpage.[1] A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s address barand next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page’s favicon next to the page’s title on the tab. Some programs allow the user to select an icon of their own from the hard drive and associate it with a website.

Help a teacher, no cost to you!

I invite you to help my favorite kindergarten teacher who also happens to be my wife by following the simple steps at the end of this post. She is a great teacher and cares deeply for her students. She likes to keep her classroom current, homey and inviting for her students to allow them the best opportunity to receive a good education. There are 3 ways you can help out and 1 of them you can do everyday!

  1. Sonic is funding projects by teachers and allows you to vote everyday and the projects with the most votes get funded.  Go to http://limeadesforlearning.com/projects/view/431314
  2. Bing has partnered with Donorschoose and will give you a $3 donors code to use on the project of your choice when you say you’ll use the Bing search engine:  Just follow this link to let them know and get your code.
  3. The award winning movie “Waiting for Superman” is coming out in October and if you pledge to see it they will send you a $5 card to use for the classroom project of your choice. I’m asking you to use it for my wife. See it won’t cost you anything to help her out (of course you are more than welcome to make an additional donation).
  4. Pledge to see the movie “Waiting for Superman”
  5. Check your email for the Donorschoose.org credit (mine took about a day)
  6. Go to DonorsChoose.org/mrs.berg and support one of her projects
  7. Retweet, Share and Like this page
  8. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!

Watching the World Cup on your Android phone

It’s quite easy to watch though for me understanding was a little difficult since it was in Spanish.  Next step is to find livestreamed audio to go with video.

  1. Get the Skyfire browser for your phone, it allows you to watch most flash videos: http://get.skyfire.com/dl_android.php
  2. Then head over to Univision for the livestream video of the games: http://futbol.univision.com/fifacopamundial/partidos-en-vivo?source

Enjoy the games and Go USA!
