Easy create favicon online

What's favicon ? It's come from favorites icon and also known as a website icon,
shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon.
It's a 16x16 or 32x32 pixel square icon that show at begining of url on supported browser.
See example favion 's photo from wikipedia below



Most current web browsers do not require any html coding to show a favicon
just want favicon.ico located in the web site's document root.
But some web browsers may need to bookmark that site before favicon will show.
Or maybe need some html coding. (<link rel="icon" ..... etc... didn't focus in this topic)

Favicon is use as symbol or logo like that website want to present.
But only hosts that can allow you to upload your own favicon.ico on root directory.
So if you own your domain, mostly can upload favicon to root.
But some hosts like blogger , yuwie, flixya. They didn't allow to upload files.
So you can't select your own favicon, you can use only that hosts 's favicon.

By the way, if you read this topic, I suppose you have your own hosts and want to make favicon.
You may begin from zero by draw what you want if you have good drawing skill.
But you can also make favicon from any big size images too.(jpg, gif, png, etc...)
There are many freeware tools to create that.
But in this article, I will suggest you online tools that you didn't need any program installed.

Some sites that I used by myself and think work well.
(If you knew other good one, please let me knew to add here)

• Favicon (Both import and drawn)
• Dynamic Drive Tool (Only import)
• Favicon Generator (Only import)

Try with yourself, it's very easy :)

Create Ajax progress loading gif animation

Used to see some websites that have loading progress while waiting to load ?
(eg. )
Did you think that's usefull and very user 's friendly ?

You can programming that with Ajax update progress.
I didn't sure that Ajax in PHP can do that or not cause I didn't working PHP.
But for ASP.NET you can easily do that.

I won't tell how to programming that in this article.
You can easily learning how to in many website.

By the way, recommend 2 sites to learning

• Keith Rull
• MSDN

After you read from above sites, I think you can make Ajax progress while loading your pages.
And after you can , I think you should interesting to find some image proper for your site.
Cause your website maybe colorfull and maybe not good to use same color gif from samples.

It's not hard to create gif animation yourself, but if you didn't expert or didn't have time to do.
I recommend you make progress loading gif animation from this website.

Ajax Load

You can choose various template for your gif and can change color like you want.
Hope this will be usefull
