Part 2. Creating a FavIcon the Easy Way. I recently decided to update the FavIcon for this site (the little icon in the address bar). The old one was something I’d hacked together myself in visual studio, and just didn’t seem friendly enough for me. There’s a number of online generators that create the icons for you from a picture, and they really seem to do a great job while keeping everything extremely easy. These are two that I’ve personally used on more than one site: FavIcon from Pics First find a picture that is similar to what you’d like the icon to look like: Just choose the file and then click the Generate button, and you’ll see the new icon exactly as it will look in the address bar.

I used the icon but ended up cleaning it up a bit in an image editing application. Dynamic Drive – FavIcon Generator Just choose the picture, click the Create Icon button, and see the preview. The only problem you might notice is that usually your icons will end up with a color background even though you might prefer they have transparency.

Favicon is basically a tiny 16x16 .ico graphic file which is displayed in the browser address bar, links bar, desktop internet shortcuts, favorites menu, browser tabs and also next to your blog feed in RSS readers.

OK, now let's get to the basics of creating favicons for your blog: Step 1: Choosing a picture for favicon Step 2: Creating a favicon from the picture Step 3: Upload the favicon file to your web server.

List of colors. The following is a list of colors. A number of the color swatches below are taken from domain-specific naming schemes such as X11 or HTML4. RGB values are given for each swatch because such standards are defined in terms of the sRGB color space. It is not possible to accurately convert many of these swatches to CMYK values because of the differing gamuts of the two spaces, but the color management systems built into operating systems and image editing software attempt such conversions as accurately as possible. The HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space values, also known as HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), and the hex triplets (for HTML web colors) are also given in the following table. Colors in alphabetical order A-F[edit] For the continuation of the list of colors, please go to List of colors: G-M#Colors.

The last few weeks I have been working on a series of blog posts that cover the new ASP.NET MVC Framework we are working on. The ASP.NET MVC Framework is an optional approach you can use to structure your ASP.NET web applications to have a clear separation of concerns, and make it easier to unit test your code and support a TDD workflow.

The first post in this series built a simple e-commerce product listing/browsing site. It covered the high-level concepts behind MVC, and demonstrated how to create a new ASP.NET MVC project from scratch to implement and test this e-commerce product listing functionality. The second post in this series drilled deep into the URL routing architecture of the ASP.NET MVC framework, and discussed both how it worked as well as how you can handle more advanced URL routing scenarios with it. Quick Recap from Part 1 In Part 1 of this series, we created an e-commerce site that implemented basic product listing/browsing support.
