Web Odds ‘n Ends
March 11th, 2008So I’ve been taking an HTML class for the past few weeks, and in last night’s class we started to delve into CSS. I’m not gonna lie – it’s a little bit scary, but I think I’m up for it. There are some great websites that we’ve been using as resources (they also have tutorials and practice sections – which I’ll need to do a lot of to help me remember everything). If you’re interested (and want to learn a little on your own), we’ve been using w3schools.com and ilovejackdaniels.com (great name).
Last night we talked a bit about favicons -what they are and how you embed them in your site. Favicons are the little icon you see next to the URL in your location bar. And what perfect timing – the Walker just had a post about this. Which got me thinking about our own favicons. The one for our blog is great, but I think the one for pulitzerarts.org could use a little oomph, what do you think? Though I might just be in the mood for spring and bright colors this week. Any suggestions?
A bit off topic, but speaking of websites – I’ve been meaning to link to this for awhile. The Indianapolis Museum of Art’s Dashboard is fantastic – what a great idea.
Thanks for the IMA Dashboard kudos Rachel. Check back soon for newly added stats. and visuals, like how many weddings have occurred on the grounds and more.
Love your blog’s favicon by the way.
Thanks Noelle! I will definitely be checking back often – I love the idea of making that information available to the public. And in such a visually engaging way too. I’m a big fan of your favicon as well.
