Casual Articles - How To Personalize And Distinguish Your Web Site From Others
I've received a lot of email lately from people asking how they can set up their own blogs for family, friends, or business purposes without spending much money or hiring an expensive programmer or web developer.Well, ask no more because I will now show you exactly how to get your own blog without dipping too far into your own pocket (if at all) and get up and running, even if you don't have your own website, hosting account, or domain name.You basically get two choi
The favicon.ico can also show up in the following two places:

While many companies exist in this pay per click search space, the two largest search engines Google and Yahoo! are the largest network operators as of 2006. Microsoft (MSN) has started beta testing their pay per click search services - MSN adCenter. Depending on the search engine's market reach, minimum price per click varies from one cent to fifty cents. Common search terms can cost much more on popular engines. Very popular keywords that draw lots of prospective customers are p
It dawned on me recently how easy it was for me to locate web sites that I had bookmarked and appeared in My Favorites menu with a little icon displayed next to the web site name, so I decided to find out if I could put one on my own web site to make it stand out in the My Favorites menu and easier for whoever bookmarked my site to locate.
I started my search on Google and discovered that the little icon that replaces the IE logo (in IE) is called a Favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) and is short for Favorites Icon or it is sometimes called a bookmark icon. The Favicon also shows in the address bar as well. Notice the red Y! symbol that appears in the left-most area of the address bar in Internet Explorer when you open Yahoo!, or the butterfly in MSN . What a great way to personalise your site.
You will require IE 5.0 or higher and a favicon.ico can show up in at least three different places in Windows:
1) In the Favorites list selectable on the Start menu;
2) In the location bar of the browser when you are visiting the web site;
3) On your desktop if you first bookmark the site, click Start, Favorites, hold down the control key and click on the bookmark to drag it to the desktop (it copies the icon as a shortcut).

Interpersonal Communications is the transmission of information from one person to another and their understanding of it through the use of common language or symbols. It is a way of interacting and happens always at all times whether you want it to happen or not.However, just because you transmit a message, it does not presuppose that communication happens. Without both information and understanding on the part of the other person, communication (understanding of your mess

At the last Google Webinar, there was some discussion about Section Targeting. I haven’t seen much discussion of this topic on the forums so I guess that means that either everyone is using it and understands what it can do... or that most people are ignoring it and missing an opportunity.I suspect that lots of people are ignoring it.For those who aren’t familiar with Section Targeting, adding a couple of lines of HTML to your page can tell Google’s crawlers which se

Advertising is more than just the means of disseminating product information. It is a primary communications tool of our economic system. Moreover, aside from its diverse role as a persuasive communication tool, it is also part of the everyday culture of virtually everyone. Actually advertising is a part of our social, cultural, and business environment.The specific reasons that a company chooses to advertise at a particular level is often difficult to determine. However, t

If you search in the engines for favicon you will find that many sites come up offering favicon tutorials, online tools to create favicon icons, free favicon icons and installation instructions too.
A favicon should be 16 X 16 pixels with 16 colors and the file name must be favicon.ico and ideally you should search for a program that allows you to create favicons online. Remember, if you do not save it as favicon.ico it will not work. Do not make the mistake of just shrinking an image to icon size and renaming it with a .ico file extension. That will not work either because it is not a real icon file. Do not be surprised if your own favicon does not show up in your own browser when you open your site, as sometimes this can take up to a few days and even disappear again only to reappear.
I had fun creating my own personal 16 x 16 pixel image in MyImager and then found a site on Google that created a favicon.ico file and I uploaded my image and clicked on generate favicon and that is how easy it was. I then uploaded the favicon.ico file to the root web directory, in the same location as the index.html page of my hosted website and bingo, I now have a Favicon and have personalized and distinguished my web site from
