Hey, I just got 8 more Google Wave invites. Want any?

how do you get the little icon on the tab of a website (i use dreamweaver) ????

lapoor:

??

It’s called a favicon. First you create a 16x16 image file and upload to the main folder of your site. Then to add it you go to Insert > Head Tags > Link, then find the image and specify that it’s a “Shortcut Icon.” It should look like:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/favicon.ico">

How to Stay Dry When Walking Home in the Rain

Some rules based on my observations over the past four years.

1. Always carry an umbrella or jacket with a hood

Even if I don’t think it’s going to rain, there is always an umbrella in my backpack. I use a jacket in the winter because it’s warmer.

2. Wear the right shoes

Walking in wet socks is miserable. Boots work best, but I usually forget when rushing out the door in the morning.

3. Plan your path

Streets are designed so that water drains off to the side, so if I have to walk in the street, I walk in the middle. As far as I can tell, intersections all have puddles, so my strategy is to step in as little water as possible. (Unless I have boots. See #2)

4. Don’t walk home in the rain!

Find a place to wait it out. If I’m coming from school, I’ll talk with friends until the rain clears.

Hope this helps.

Coda

I use a program called Coda to design websites. It’s the first piece of software I bought for myself, and probably the best investment I have ever made.

This how I usually work. It’s incredible how productive it is to never have to leave the program.
