Blogger Comments

I don’t really use blogger or blogspot that much. I just noticed that some blogs have the option to comment with name/url. In which case mine didn’t. So I had to change the settings. Your Dashboard should have a settings for your own blog in the comments section. The question in mind is: Who can comment? The answer would be anyone or anonymous. This way users who wish to comment can leave their name and personal url behind. The option I had on was only limited to registered users.

 

Router Passwords

I had a little hiccup today. I was trying to enter into my router system online, but forgot the username and passwords. This is because I’m using a new laptop. I had to go back to my previous computer just for a quick reference. The default username for a Dynalink wireless adsl2+ router is admin. The confusing part is that the router password and wireless key password are two different things. Other people can connect to your internet connection without knowing the router password. All you have to tell them is the encryption key password and name of your wireless network.

If you’re setting up a wireless connection configuration the security options may have these:
Select Wireless Network
Wireless Security
Authentication Type
Format
Key
Default Transmission Key

You should be able to apply these changes when you’re ready. Everything resets and you will need to reconnect after.

 

Adding a Favicon to Your Site

I am currently using WordPress 3.1.2.

In your WordPress Dashboard click on Apperance and more options will flow down. What you are interested in is the Editor section. The file you will be changing is the Header (header.php). Between the <head> and </head> tags you will need to include the code below if it’s not in there already:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/favicon.ico" />

I assume that you already made a favicon.ico file. You will need to upload this file to two locations through ftp (webmaster’s control panel – file manager). The first location is the root folder of your domain (eg: http://www.sherwinjtb.com/favicon.ico). The second location is in your current theme’s folder (eg: http://www.sherwinjtb.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/leathernote/favicon.ico).

If you don’t have a favicon.ico file yet you can convert any image (usually .png) of size 16×16 pixels by doing a quick online search. You could also find a program that converts or saves files as icons. Microsoft Paint may save your file as an icon. In Paint, save as a 24 Bitmap image and make sure to add .ico at the end of the file name (ie: favicon.ico). Keep in mind that you want to be original so try making your own design. Find your saved file and upload to your site as stated in the locations above. This is what I did and it usually works instantly or restart your browser for it to take effect.
