What is a Favicon and How To Create One

May 21, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

First, what is favicon?
Favorite icon! Yes, when you bookmark a web-site you like and the look through your bookmarks, which are all text, you may easily recognize your favorite sites with small graphic element located to the left of the title.
In browser’s address bar favicon appears on the left side right before URL.

To insert favicon into your page you need to:
1. Create an image you’d like to be a favicon fo your site
2. Create a favicon from image with .ico resolution – how to read below
3. Upload favicon to your web site’s files folder
4. Insert one of these pieces of code between <head> and </head> tags:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico”>
<link rel=”icon” type=”image/gif” href=”animated_favicon1.gif”>

Generally favicons could be 16×16 or 32×32 pixels, and animated or static.

Let me introduce the web service I use for creating favicons for years and am very pleased with.
A nice addition – this service is free, so go ahead and create your favicon for free!

Renaming “Become a Fan” into “Like”.

May 3, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

facebook like page fbmlNow after Facebook’s “Become a Fan” has turned to be “Like”, I was struggling on which wordage to choose for my “Become a Fan” page.
For those, who don’t know, this a special page, which you may create with Facebook Markup Langugage (FBML) and set to be a default one. Having such page increases chances for your visitors actually to become your fans…. oops sorry – NO MORE FANS:) Now I hate to say it, but “LIKERS”.
Well one can say “people liking my page” or “those who clicked to like my page”, but in essence we all are Likers now.
So how I can rename my landing Like page slogan?
It was easy before – “Become a Fan” and that’s all.
Now “Like” is too short.
“Become a liker” – no surprise we will see such opus one day, but that’s not me, who starts:)
“Fall in like with me” or “be my liker” – LOL.

For myself I’ve chosen “Click to Like!” and I’m awaiting for your opinions.
Which words or phrases you would choose?

Facebook Fan Box – Preview Doesn’t Work, I can’t Get The Code

April 16, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

facebook fan boxAfter struggling with Facebook manuals and having no result, I finally came across on this brilliant post of Robert Holland on How to add Facebook Fan Box to WordPress.

I’ve tested this solution on both WordPress and regular HTML site just embedding the code inside the table.

So what is the secret and why the code proposed by Facebook developer’s guide didn’t work. The answer is: you need to use iframes in order to get Fan Box working.

You may read Robert’s post on how to do it right, but here is the brief solution:

1. Copy this code to Notepad (any other editing program):

<iframe scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ src=”http://www.facebook.com/connect/connect.php?id=……….&connections=10&stream=0&css=PATH_TO_STYLE_SHEET&locale=your_LOCALE” allowtransparency=”true” style=”border: none; width: 300px; height: 250px;”></iframe> <div style=”font-size:8px; padding-left:10px”></div>

2. Change this id=………. to your Facebook ID. To find out what is your FB ID, go to your profile and click your profile’s image in upper left corner. After new window is open look at the URL in browser’s address field. Last numeric part of that is your Facebook ID (something long like 105510822813755)

3. In WordPress go to widget section, put a Text widget into a place you want FanBox to appear (mainly your sidebar) and paste the code into the text widget. Save it.

4. Adjust settings:

  • connections=10 is number of fans to display
  • stream=1 – your post appear in widget. To turn it off just change “1″ to “0″
  • width and height are pretty self explanatory

For HTML just copy and paste the code as you would do with any embedded object.

That’s it. With installing Facebook Fan Box widget your conversion of fans should increase pretty soon:)
