CSS and Frames

I've been monkeying around with my web page, happily learning CSS. Got the thing validated XHTML Transitional and CSS via W3C. Then I decided I'd figure out frames and had fits trying to get the index page to work with CSS.

Between having no luck on finding a solution and having read boocoo on how crappy frames behave, I decided to leave my site no frames. Lo and behold, I found on Google this link to DarkBlue, aka Jonathan M. Hollin's blogpost on how to emulate frames. Even tho I'm not planning on using it any time soon, it is nice to have the hack.

FavIcon from Pics

Ever wonder how other web sites display the miniature icon in the URL line, like Blogger's orange and white B? FavIcon from Pics allows you to upload the picture/graphic you want to be the icon, converts it to a 16x16 format. Then it shows you what it will look like. You like it, you can download it in a zip file. You don't, upload a different pic and see how it goes. It will even give you an animated icon, but I thought that was too cheesy.

It also gives you the link to get the .ico to work. I would have published it here, but Blogger wouldn't let me post HTML. I put the line in the Style Configuration section of each page, below the link to my .css stylesheet. If you're going to validate it W3C XHTML Trans., don't forget to put the /> to close the link.
