Favicon Generator and Learning CSS
01:38 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0) ~ Movable Type
I’ve been doing some revamping of the site this morning. I changed my CSS style sheet a bit to eliminate underlining of links. I found that the links were already distinctive enough, since they are a different color than normal text. A good site for learning CSS is W3School’s CSS site.
I’ve also been playing around with adding a favicon for the site. I thought that Photoshop would support .ico files, but no luck. Alternatively, I felt like this feels like a web ‘service’ — upload an image file, and get it back in .ico format. Indeed, such a service does exist here — very trick.
BTW, I found the favicon site using Yahoo! Search. For some reason, I was having no luck on Google/A9 (which is not to say that you couldn’t find it on Google, just that my query style was more efficient on Yahoo!). Lesson = using multiple search sites pays off.

I changed the format for blockquote tags in my CSS file to:
.content blockquote {
line-height: 150%;
border: 0.5px solid #666666;
padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px;
background-color: #FFFFFF
}
This adds a box around the blockquoted text. I found this style here. I’m going to try this out for a while.

I changed the css file for the sidebar background color to a light shade of gray to separate it from the main content window.
.sidebar {
padding: 15px;
background-color: #F3F3F3;
}
I changed the banner id’s: 1) background color in the css to C0C0C0, 2) reduced the banner height to 22px and 3) changed the padding to 5px.
And I removed the ‘blog description’ (i.e., <h2><$MTBlogDescription$></h2>) from the Main templates.
