Create A Free Favicon Online

Creating a favicon for your website is an easy and free way to increase the professional look of your website. A favicon is,as the name suggests, an icon which is displayed when your site is added to someone's favourites folder.

It is also displayed in the address bar of some web browsers next to your web address. Here we show you just how easy they are to create and implement:

1) Design an image 50px x 50px to use as your favicon. This should be a simple image, perhaps a small logo, letter etc - see other icons for inspiration (i.e. Blogger "B"). The image can be designed in Paint, Photoshop or other image software.

2) Save the image then visit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ and upload your new icon. This website will turn it into a favicon (.ico) for free which you can download. It even shows you a preview of what it looks like in an address bar after uploading the image.

3) After downloading and unzipping the file, upload the new favicon.ico file to your website and add the following piece of code in your web page between the opening HEAD and closing /HEAD: "link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico""

4) Congratulations that's it! Easy huh? Now ust test your site to ensure evrything is working and that you're happy with how your new favicon looks.

Popup Window Link Generator (HTML)

Have you ever been stuck for an easy method of creating a pop-up window for a link or image. You can spend time coding your own javascript or CSS function to create the pop-up link or alternatively, if you aren't too bothered about using HTML and Javascript (rather than CSS) you can try Eric King's Popup Window Generator.

The script can be found on the DynamicDrive.com website here. In no time at all you can have a fully working popup link on your website by adding two pieces of dynamically created code.

Simply enter a few details into the form - the URL of the location, your window preferences (scroll bars, name, size etc) and click the GENERATE CODE button.

The site will then load two sections of code for you to use. The first is the Java Script which you'll need to paste into the HEAD AREA of your web page. This javascript takes care of the actual function.

Secondly the page displays your link code. Simply copy this link into your page wherever you want a link to open as a pop-up window (as many times as you like). You can use the link with text or images - it's up to you, just use the code to enclose your link.

Add A Google Sitemap to Blogger Blog - Guide

Here is a guide to adding a Google Sitemap to your Blogger.com blog. Submitting a sitemap to Google can increase your chances of having your site indexed by the search engine.

Below is a step by step guide to submitting your blog's sitemap to Google:

Step 1.


Sign-in to your Google account by clicking in the top right of the Google search pages. You may need to sign-in first if you don't see the 'My Account' text link. Once you are logged in click on WEBMASTER TOOLS (click here for the direct link)

Step 2.


Paste the URL of your blog into the 'ADD SITE' area of the dashboard page. For example http://ukdropshipper.blogspot.com. Click on the 'add site' button.

Step 3.


You will now be taken to thesite overview page. This page will show you the status of your sitemap/s, details of the last site crawl and inform you whether pages from the site are included in the Google index.

Step 4.

You need to verify ownership of the site you're submitting. I find the easiest way to do this is to add some code to your area of the site. To verify ownership click on VERIFY YOUR SITE and select ADD A META TAG from the drop down box. Google will then provide you with some code to add to your site.

Step 5.

In a separate window or tab login to your blogger account, select LAYOUT and choose EDIT HTML. Copy and past the HTML meta tag provided by Google in the previous step into the HTML template just after the first TAG. Save your template edits. Return back to the original window/tab and click VERIFY.

Step 6.

You are now able to add a sitemap. Luckily Blogger supplies a ready made site map in the form of it's ATOM feed. Visit your blog and copy the URL of the atom feed (i.e. www.ukdropshipper.com/feeds/posts/full). Hint: Click on a 'subscribe to feed' link to find out your URL.

Step 6.

Slect to add a sitemap from within the Google Wemaster Tools Dashboard (the original window/tab) and choose "add general web sitemap". Paste the URL from step 5 into the area provided and click "ADD GENERAL SITEMAP" button.

You have now successfully added a Google Sitemap. In time you will be able to view various statitics through the SITEMAPS page including the date your site was last crawled, crawl stats, top search queries and diagnose any crawl errors.
