The Favicon, an Untapped Image Promotion Trick – Animated Favicons?

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

A favicon is that little image that most browsers display on the address line and in the favorites (bookmarks) menu. Tabbed browsers like Firefox and Opera extend the functionality of favicons, adding them to their tabs. The name was coined based on Internet Explorer (the first browser to support it) and derives from “Favorites Icon”. Each web browser has a unique user interface, and as a result uses the favicon in different ways. The favicon allows a company to further promote its identity and image by displaying a logo, a graphical message, etc. Often, the favicon reflects the look and feel of the web site or the organization’s logo.

A traditional favicon is actually a Microsoft Windows ICO file. An ICO file is actually a repository of bitmap like images. They are used because in some locations a 16×16 pixel image is desired, and sometimes a 32×32 image may be needed. Sometimes a 16 color image is desired, and sometimes a 256 color icon is desired.

You probably already knew all of the above.

But did you know that Firefox can display animated favicons? If you don’t believe me, open Firefox and go to my site, bsleek.com (there should be a link at the bottom of the article). if you don’t have Firefox, download it, it’s a “must have” and you will quickly fall in love with the simplicity and convenience of tabbed browsing. Even if you are not a designer but just a site owner, in today’s environment you absolutely must know how your site looks in all browsers. You would think that all websites should look the same, but as browsers become more diverse and more sophisticated, standards are not respected and things can get messy. For example, I just discovered that a few pages on my site don’t look as expected in the latest version of Opera and need to be adjusted.

Ok, I hope by now you saw my animated favicon in Firefox and came back to the article to learn more about it…

The main reason why you can see animated favicons in Firefox is because Firefox abolished the proprietary ICO format in favor of the ability to display any supported image format in the favicon location, including BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG and… animated GIFs.

So now you know the big secret, the animated favicon is nothing but a tiny animated GIF.

Here’s a very neat trick, that can actually be used to visualize how any image looks like as a 16×16 pixel icon – once you start designing one of those, you will realize that it is extremely hard to produce a legible image on a 16 square pixels canvas:

Find any page with any graphic that you are interested in. Right click the image and chose “View Image” from the dialog. A blank page should display with your chosen image and surprise: you can see a miniature 16×16 copy of the image as a favicon! Uhh… do I have to mention again that we are doing all this in Firefox?

A hacker’s mind will immediately think of how great it would be to use this feature as a conversion tool. Unfortunately, unlike Internet Explorer and Opera, Firefox doesn’t store FavIcons in .ico files, the icons are stored in an encoded format directly in the bookmark file.

You can apply the same principle to animated GIFs and you will notice that a miniature version of the animation also plays in the address bar and on the tabs.

Perhaps one of the main reasons why you don’t see that many sites using animations is browser compatibility. Animated favicons are not treated at all by Internet Explorer. A static image will not be extracted from the animation either. Instead, the default .htm icon (as defined in Windows’ filetypes) will be placed under one’s Favorites – once added, that is. The animations are not supported by Netscape, Opera, Konqueror, Safari; at least so it seems at the time of this writing. The Firefox family seems to be the only friend to animations, yet as browsers evolve, broader support for animation will probably come along (or, the concept will die).

So, why not take advantage of this *now* and ‘beat the rush’?

Basically, this is how it’s done:

1. You make a 16×16 animated GIF.

2. You upload the animated GIF to the “root” of your site, or to any other location.

3. You hardcode in your page the location where Firefox should look for the animation.

That’s really it, “big picture” wise.

If you don’t feel too creative or just don’t have time and/or patience, a reputable professional design firm (such as Bsleek) should be able to make a nice animated favicon for you. Another option – I don’t endorse it, as your goal should be to excel through unique content and push your own image out there – is to find one of the many galleries online and either download a ready made animated favicon or take a large animated GIF and resize it and/or edit it in one of the many available tools. There also are sites that offer online animated favicon creation from a standard image (check out chami.com, find “FavIcon from pics”, they have a simple but neat scrolling text feature).

If you are however a fellow do-it-yourselfer, then let’s elaborate and look at some techniques and useful tips:

As far as tools go: If you are a lucky owner of Adobe’s excellent Photoshop, then you also have a companion application called ImageReady. Linux users have Gimp, an incredibly powerful and free graphics application that can easily handle animated GIF creation. What many people don’t know is that Gimp is also available for free for Windows and the Mac. There is also GIMPShop in the wild, which is a nifty GIMP version for the photoshop-inclined audience (did I mention free?). There are also many specialized GIF animation makers, some freeware, some not.

Things to remember when designing animated favicons:

You have control over the number of times your animation will play. Any decent animated GIF editor will ask you whether you want your animation to play once, several times (you specify a number) or forever. It is also important to know that after the animation cycled the predetermined amount of time, it will remain still on the last frame (not the first one!), so make sure that frame contains the image you want displayed at the end of the cycle.

If you really need to, you can set it to loop continuously.

However, out of curtsey to those paranoid about their computer resources being eaten alive by your animation and to those who find animated things in general terribly annoying, I always recommend that you set up a finite number of times your GIF will cycle through the animated sequence. 6 sounds like a good, conservative number, 12 is on the medium side.

By limiting the number of times your GIF plays, you might even set a cool viral marketing effect, where visitors will just click through your pages to see the animation start over. I clearly remember when I first saw an animated favicon years ago (on the first iterations of the Mozilla browser), the animation was set up to cycle once, and I found myself refreshing the pages over and over, and even clicking through the site just to see it again and again. I don’t care what anyone says, people are attracted to eye candy.

So you made your animation and are very proud of it. Now it is time to upload it to your web server. You can put it anywhere you want, in any folder you desire. The old school webmasters who follow Microsoft’s teachings will be very much appalled by this statement. They will tell you that if you don’t name your icon favicon.ico and if you don’t put in the very root of your site, it will not work. With Firefox and animated favicons things are very liberal, you can name your animation anything you want (.gif) and place it anywhere you want. You just have to place a special tag on every page that points to the gif.

Here is the big problem: All this works fine in Firefox, but what about the rest of the browsers?

Well, for maximum compatibility you’ll have to make a regular favicon.ico and upload it to the root of your website (that’s where your very first index.xxx home page is, where xxx is htm, html, php, cfm, etc..). Then we’ll add the following two lines of code to every page that you want to pull and display the animation.

Please remember to replace the “{” and “}” brackets with the standard HTML ones, “<" and ">“. I had to use the curly ones here in order not to confuse article sites. The code has to be placed between the {HEAD} tag and the {TITLE} tags. It might possibly work otherwise, but your HTML code will not be fully W3C compliant:

{LINK REL=”SHORTCUT ICON” HREF=”http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico”}
{LINK REL=”icon” HREF=”http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.gif” TYPE=”image/gif”}

Of course, replace “mydomain.com” with your own domain, favicon.ico is a standard favicon, favicon.gif is your newly created animated GIF. Again, it can as well be mydomain.com/somefolder/somename.gif.

Always hardcode the location, use absolute addresses (as in the example) and not relative ones (“../favicon.gif”).

The first line of code is a standard, a-la Microsoft command that tells the majority of browsers to load a standard favicon.ico.

The second line of code is for Firefox only, instructing the browser to load the animated version.

As a side note, if you forgot to add the two lines of code to a page, that page should pick the default favicon.ico, but only if you already loaded it via one page that had the code in it, or if the page was bookmarked. Additionally, sometimes, Internet Explorer will just refuse to show a favicon…

If the above sounds strange (if it doesn’t, what are you doing reading my articles??), I talk about how to create a favicon.ico and about some of the favicon’s stranger behaviors in my other related articles. Just Google for “The Favicon, an untapped image promotion trick” (with quotes).

One last thing: I feel that this article will not be complete if I don’t support those folks who look at the animated favicons the same way the world looks at the text blink “feature” from the early nineties and would like to forever wipe it of the face of the web.

You can disable favicons – animated or not & site icons in Firefox. Here’s how:

Open a Firefox window. Type “about:config”, without the quotes, in the address bar. Hit enter or click Go. Scroll down slightly to “browser.chrome.favicons” and double click it to change it to “false”. This gets rid of the favicons. If you also want to stop seeing site icons, then look right below for “browser.chrome.site_icons”, double click it to change it to “false”. Close all Firefox windows. When you reopen Firefox, the pesky little icons should be gone.

The Birth of a Professional Web Site: Part Two Your Strategic Web Design Plan

Friday, August 29th, 2008

There are millions of web sites on the Internet today with thousands more being added each day. The competition is fierce and in order to be successful, you must stay one step ahead of the game.

Although designing a professional web site is an important part of your strategic plan, it is only the first step. Before you begin the actual design process, you must first determine your overall strategy and design your web site accordingly.

Internet marketers have basically two choices:

-> Design a mini web site that focuses on just one product or service, with no other content of any kind.

-> Design a content web site that includes not only your products and services, but also information and resources that will be of interest to your target market.

Although both types of sites can be effective, your success ultimately depends on your site design and marketing strategies. Both will play a very important role.

Content Web Sites

Content oriented sites are sites that provide visitors with content, such as articles, tutorials, free ebooks and resources. This type of site attracts their target audience with incentives. Their products and services are mentioned on the main page with a link to further information.

Content sites usually profit by educating their visitors. For example, a content site focusing on dog grooming might provide a basic tutorial to assist their visitors in learning how to groom a dog. They provide this tutorial completely free; however, the main purpose for this tutorial is to educate their visitors and promote their products.

When you provide your visitors with quality information that teaches and informs, you are not only gaining their trust in you by sharing your expertise, but you’re also building your credibility, which is very important on the Internet.

The key to using this technique effectively is to provide content that targets your potential customer.

Mini-Sites

Mini-sites are different from content sites, as they don’t provide any content. They usually contain one or two pages and completely focus on one product or service. Basically, the site is just a sales letter for the product.

No matter which type of site you design, keep in mind, your web site is a direct reflection of you and your business. The appearance of your web site is the most important factor in determining your web site’s value. If your site doesn’t look professional or pleasing to the eyes at first glance, it’s perceived value will be low. The perceived value of your web site will have a great impact on your success.

On the other hand, you may have a great web site, well designed and a quality product or service, but if it takes too long to load, the value will still be perceived as low. Why? Your potential customer will not wait — ultimately costing you business.

If you’re serious about your Internet business, designing a web site specifically designed to sell your products is an essential part of your success. Everything within your web site should have one specific purpose — getting your visitors to take action.

Your Strategy

Prior to designing your web site, you must decide on the type of response you’re looking for. For example, if you’re selling a product, the response you’re most-likely trying to achieve is to make a sale. If you’re developing a content site, your main goal for every page of your site should be to lead your visitors to your sales page. You can accomplish this in a number of ways, including:

1) Display a graphic image of your product on your main page with a short ad and a link leading to your sales page.

2) Create a “Products” section within the navigational menu of each page with a short description and link to each of your products.

3) Write articles that focus on the same topic as your product. At the end of the article, within your bylines, provide your visitors with information about your product.

4) Write tutorials that target your potential customer. At the end of the tutorial, provide information about your product.

5) Provide your visitors with a free autoresponder course. Your course should identify a problem, provide advice in regard to solving the problem and provide the solution with your products or services. Keep in mind, your course should not be written like a sales letter. It must provide quality information written to teach and inform.

No matter what type of response you’re looking for, your site must be specifically designed to achieve your goal.

Every part of your web site must be strategically designed. From your overall design to your sales copy — each will play a very important role.

Your web site is the most important sales tool you have. A professional web site should be pleasing to the eyes, well organized, easy to navigate, load quickly and be optimized for the Search Engines.

Above all else, you must specifically design your site for your potential customers. Provide them with the information they desire, while continually mentioning the benefits of your products, and you’ll reap the rewards.

Combing The Power Of Google Adsense And Email Marketing

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

In the past year, Google Adsense has become the “It” way to make money on the Internet.

But even if you already use Google Adsense on your site, you are probably leaving money on the table. Let me explain why…

Most people create a site, slap some content and then wait for people to click on their ads.

But once people click on an ad, they are gone….probably forever!

One method that smart Internet marketers use to maximize their Google Adsense is to harness the power of their email list. By getting people to subscribe to their list, website owners can continue to make money from their readers.

By utilizing the power of their email list, website owners can dramatically increase their Adsense income.

Here is how you can do the same. In the following article, there is a step-by-step list of how you can harness the power of your list to create a steady stream of Adsense revenue.

The first step is to create a topic that is in high demand. A good topic would be something that people have an interest in, or information that can help your readers personally or financially.

Your next action would be to create content for your site. The idea is to write or use information that would provide value to the reader. All your articles should help improve their life in some manner. You can create content for your site in a large numbers of ways. This can include:

Your own web articles Guides, product evaluations, and “How To’s” Blogs and RSS Feeds Public domain works Private label rights Hiring a freelancer to write your content

Obviously creating content for your site is an ongoing process, so once you’ve created at least 10 pages of quality information for your readers, you should create your web pages and optimize them for Google Adsense.

As you are designing your pages for Adsense, you should keep one thing in mind- Your primary goal is to get people to click on your Adsense ads.

So don’t give your readers too many options. As a result, it is important to keep your web page simple. To do this, you should include do the following:

Place the article on the web page Ad all three Adsense blocks in prominent places Make sure that the ad blocks look like standard text, with the no borders and blue links If you have to have other links on this page, include them at the bottom where there is a less chance of being clicked on

After designing your web pages, you need to create an autoresponder sequence for your email list. The primary focus for each email is to get people to click on your Google Adsense pages. So it is important to create and intriguing title. Then in the email, write a little bit about the importance of the article and tell your subscribers how they can learn more by clicking over to the site.

Once you’ve created your sequence of bringing readers to your Adsense pages, you should start promoting your lists. You can do this by articles, PPC, ebooks, viral marketing and SEO. The more people usually means more money, so you have to continuously work at marketing your website.

Once you have finished creating your Adsense and email system, you should go back and continue to add more content and market your site. By having a large selection of information and more readers, you’ll discover that your Google Adsense income will grow exponentially.

Driving Essentials: Tips For Driving In The Snow

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Whether you are a driver that has recently passed, or an experienced driver, travelling in the snow can greatly affect the way you need to drive the car and also how your car behaves.

Regardless of whether your car has the best braking system available, it is often not the car brakes that will cause an accident in such conditions, but the lack of grip between the road surface and the tyres. This is fairly apparent, nevertheless many people believe that their vehicle is safer to driver in snow as it is high-performance or has the latest stability control technology, which may not be the case.

The cornering ability of the car is almost non-existent, and it may feel like you can not control the vehicle and might slide sideways slightly. It is essential to remain focused and refrain from any sudden braking, sharp acceleration, and travelling at high speeds. Be aware of what is around you and allow plenty of time to react to any situation, such as moving traffic. Before reaching the turn, ensure that you have slowed down long before taking the corner, and also make certain that you do so in a straight line so that you avoid loss of control.

When pulling away from a stand-still; try and do so a higher gear such as in second as opposed to first. This will limit the degree of wheel spin you could encounter. Likewise, whilst travelling, drive in as high a gear as possible to also limit wheel spin.

A remarkable point to make is that most drivers, however experienced they are at driving in typical conditions, will in fact have driven fewer miles in the snow than they will have in normal driving conditions when they were learning to drive. This shows the amount of drivers on the road that may be unproven drivers in snow.

When braking, avoid any sudden slowing down as this will cause the car to skid if you are on ice or snow. Should you find yourself skidding, release your foot from the brake and reapply (you may remember this from your driving lessons, although with ABS technology doing this for you in the dry, this may not have been the case). Additionally, you can also use the gears to help slow down the vehicle somewhat. Change to a lower gear carefully and allow the engine help the car lessen its speed.

Although there is a lot to consider when driving in the snow, it is also highly important that you bear in mind that other drivers may not be experienced in the snow. Consequently, do not assume that other drivers are going to do something; in other words, expect the unexpected. One example would be to assume that a driver is going to stop and give way whilst you are manoeuvring around a roundabout, although this may not occur if the driver has not applied their brakes early enough.

Importantly, before setting off on your journey, consider the following:

- Do you have to take the journey, and if you do can it wait until the roads are clear?

- Do you have a mobile phone with you in case of an emergency?

- Have you informed someone of where you are going?

- Have you checked that your destination is accessible by road?

- Do you have a blanket or appropriate clothing in case you become stranded in traffic?

Advantages and Disadvantages to Selling a House on Your Own

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

As with any business transaction, there are pros and cons to selling your own home. Many people are intimidated by the whole process, but if you know what you are up against, and if you are aware of what needs to be done, you will be more effective at selling on your own, or you will be better at making sure your agent does what you prefer. No matter how you decide to sell your home, involvement in the process is important to ensure that you get the best deal possible.

ADVANTAGES

You do not pay commission. This is the biggest advantage people who sell their own homes receive by not hiring a real estate agent. Some agents charge a flat fee while others take a percentage of what the selling price. By selling on your own, you could save anywhere from $4,000 dollars to more than $13,000 dollars. Whether you want to use the proceeds to purchase another property, invest or save, creditunionrate.com can help you make the most of the every dollar you save.

Home showings take place around your schedule. You can set up scheduled home showings and have open houses to fit the needs of your life, rather the needs of a real estate agent. Additionally, you know that you are home for the showings, and you do not have to worry about someone entering your house when you are not there.

Full concentration on your house. Real estate agents often have multiple homes they are selling at once. This means that you do not have your agent’s undivided attention. When you sell your own home, you know that full effort and attention is going into getting your home sold for the best possible rate.

You control the transaction. Nobody else is in charge of negotiations. You decide when to sell for less, and whether to hold out for more. You can make sure things are done your way, and you do not have to consult an agent before closing the deal. Plus, you “own” your mistakes. At least you do not have to worry about whether the agent is making a mistake on your behalf.

DISADVANTAGES

You are responsible for all of the necessary legal and financial paperwork. This is one of the most intimidating parts of the home selling process. If you sell on your own, all of the transfer of deed, bill of sale, escrow, assessment, and other paperwork is your responsibility. The only thing the seller should have to do is sign. You need to make sure that you have everything in order so that sale of your home is legal and binding.

All listing and advertising costs must be paid by you. The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that realtors have access to can be pricey. If you want your home advertised, you are responsible for all of the associated costs. Flyers, newspaper ads, online classifieds, and other means of marketing your home can get expensive.

Limited free time. In order to get the best possible price for your home, you must be willing to invest the time. You may that you do not have time to participate in leisure, as you must concentrate on selling your home. And you do not want to be away when potential buyers want to look at the house.

Negotiating skills may not be good. Some people have good negotiating skills, while others do not. If your negotiating skills are questionable, you may find yourself out a few thousand dollars. Be aware that many buyers feel that if you sell on your own, the savings received because no commission is paid should be theirs. Likewise, if you do not do your homework on home values, you may find yourself lacking the confidence you need to effectively negotiate.

After evaluating your strengths and weaknesses, and determining how much time you can devote to the process, you should be able to figure out whether or not advantages of selling your own home outweigh the disadvantages.

The Benefits of Portable Hot Tubs

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Portable hot tubs are a modern technological marvel. They have completely self-contained plumbing, so there is no messy setup involving outside water pipes. Portable hot tubs have the same jet systems and seating options as unmovable tubs. Finally, portable hot tubs can be easily transported.

A major advantage of portable hot tubs is that they do not need to be connected to any external water source. This makes setup and maintenance a breeze. People can just use a simple garden hose to fill the pool, add the necessary chemicals, and they are ready to relax. Since the portable hot tub does not connect to an external water supply, there is no need to maintain any pipes or plumbing systems. The only external connection needed is for electricity.

Portable hot tubs offer the same amenities as permanently placed models. They have water jets that can sooth and massage sore muscles. Most models also have comfortable foam seating that allows for countless seating options. Many Portable hot tubs are spacious enough to accommodated up to six people.

The main advantage of portable hot tubs is that they are extremely lightweight. Empty, these tubs often weigh as little as 50 or 60 pounds. These tubs are usually made of lightweight foam and plastic materials meant to be comfortable and durable. Portable hot tubs weigh much more when that are full of water but they can be easily drained if needed. Unlike in ground hot tubs, portable tubs can be easily transported and can be brought along if the owners relocate.

Portable hot tubs are a great investment. They are light enough to be easily moved, yet they are durable enough to last for years, and, in addition, portable hot tubs have all the therapeutic and relaxing features of permanent models but can be moved if needed. Their totally self-contained pluming is a major plus as well, saving time and money on installation and maintenance.

Tidy Up With Industrial Shelving

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Admit it; you probably have loads of stuff that you hardly ever use. Some say that we use a mere 20% of what we own! The remaining 80? We keep them around the house for various reasons, sentimental or otherwise. In reality, clutter is all about indecisions. So, ask yourself, Am I going to use it? Why am I keeping it? Is it worth keeping? Basically, what we have at home goes the same with what businesses have in their offices. If clutter is a problem at home, it is doubly worse at the office.

Industrial shelving is one type of archival storage that comes in a great array of sizes, shapes, and different installation processes. Industrial shelving provides the modern world a new way of organizing things especially for warehouses where limited space can become a problem. Unlike most storage spaces, industrial shelving comes in a build-it-yourself kit. This, in turn, provides flexibility on how you want to put up the industrial shelving and allows you to more easily place it inside tight spaces.

1. Uprights

In industrial shelving, the panels that are enclosed on each part of a bay are called uprights. These are equipped with a chain of pre-punched holes. The uprights are the ones responsible in providing flexibility to the user because it lets the user to opt for a different position of each shelf once they start building their industrial shelving.

2. Bays.

These are the basic units of industrial shelving. Other types of shelving also utilize them.

Bays are comprised of a single back panel that is jointly linked together with two uprights on each side. It can either be double-sided or single-sided.

When you use a double-sided bay in industrial shelving, you will get two single-sided bays that are attached together partaking a shared back panel. This, in turn, provides firmness in your industrial shelving.

3. Shelves

These are the most important parts of an industrial shelving. They are the different horizontal parts that are attached to uprights at either end. Here, you can put the records or different materials that you need to store. In most industrial shelving, shelves are fastened in place with four clips, one on each corner.

4. Backs

These are the enclosing panel on the rear of a bay in an industrial shelving. Backs are the ones that provide the bays with the needed strength and stiffness.

5. Rows

This is where the bays are located. It can either be double-sided or single-sided. The standard measurement of a row is five to six bays long. However, there are instances wherein you may find rows that are seven bays wide. In fact, there are rows that are even longer and wider.

6. Demand Reasoning

- Easy installation
– Highly visible
– Waterproof and easy to clean
– Resistant to chemicals
– Can easily be removed for cleaning
– Available in a range of sizes
