Create favicon for your site without designer

If designer in your company is very busy person you can create temporary favicon image by self. I’ve found this free site html-kit.com/favicon/ helped me to create favicons for my sites.
1. Open your site and do screenshot by using PrtScn button on your keyboard
2. Open Photoshop -> New -> cntr+v – you got screenshot in Photoshop
3. Crop logo of the site and save it on your computer
4. Go to html-kit.com/favicon/ -> click on “browse” button -> click on “Generate FavIcone.ico” button
5. When done click on “Download FavIcon Package” button
6. Save zip file on your computer
7. Unszip this file to any folder on your computer
8. Go to admin/build/themes/settings/global in Drupal admin
9. Uncheck “Use the default shortcut icon” check box
10. Click on “browse” button near “Upload icon image” text box
11. Upload image favicon.ico
12. Click on “Save configuration” button
13. Refresh your site and enjoy from work you did:-)

php on windows computer

Download and install http://www.wampserver.com/ (open source project, free to use)
Apache 2.2.11
PHP 5.3.0
MySQL 5.1.36
Phpmyadmin
size: 16Mo

– then you have a PHP webserver + mySQL database on your computer.

After installation you need to configure 2 small things:

-install php version 5.2.9-1 (click ‘get more’)

-Activate ‘rewrite module’ in Apache – modules (to have friendly url’s)

WordPress Blog on your own hosting

Finally I did it by self
– Go to cpanel of the site
– Choose “Software/Services” Section
– Click on “Fantastico de Luxo” button

On the left side menu you can see all kind of software you can install only by one click.
There are WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, PHP-Nuke and much more options in the menu.

Choose what you need and start auto-installation.
Before that you need to delete index.php file from the root directory.

That’s all:-)

P.S. Before you are buying the hosting you should check if they have this fantastic tool (Fantastico de Luxo) in their services.
I’m using in this case www47.a2hosting.com hosting

Domain names

If you want to open blog on own domain you should buy it before.
I’m usually looking for domain names on Yahoo

http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/?s_fptrough=dm_acq_domainname_20081001

I’m not buying domain names on Yahoo last time.
If you are buying domain name first time you can do it – price for new customers on Yahoo is $9.95 but if you’ll want to renew it next year you should pay $35
This is the reason why I’m buying domain names on Godaddy.com
Price for first time buyer for year is $1.99, price for renewal is about $10, price for new .com domain for current customers is $9.99, price for transfer domain name from another registrant is only $6.99
I’m really contented with GoDaddy prices for domain names
