Technology.
It just bites me in the booty every time I try to accomplish something cool with it.
Like tonight...
See, there are these things called favicons.
And for those of you that don't know, a favicon is the little symbol up at the top of the screen beside the blog address.
See the little orange B?
Well, actually it's a white B surrounded by orange.
That's a favicon.
Blogger allegedly lets you have your own favicon.
There's even a tutorial on how to do it.
So, I was all about that.
I even paid an artist $15 whole dollars to make me one.
Here is it:
Isn't it great?
Wouldn't it look good sitting in the upper left hand corner of the web address?
Well, forget it.
It's not going to happen.
I simply can't figure out how to get it to work.
I've googled and adjusted and clicked and checked and made it square and cut and copied and pasted and I just can't make it happen.
I keep thinking that one day I will just wake up with the knowledge of how to run a blog but so far I'm still at square one.
I need some blog pixie dust.
Or I need someone who knows what they are doing.
And I really need that someone to be me.
Hence the whole:
Favicon? More like Favican't.
Favican't...
I crack myself up some times...
"Is that the best you've got?"
Oh, quit complaining...
You are no help at all.
I think you are amazing! I'm struggling with a simple web design now and am about to throw in the towel. I see the favicon on my tab up top for this page - I think you've done it!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, a fave-icon. At first glance, I thought you were talking about favicon, said together as one word, which sounds like some kind of terrible prescription medicine.
ReplyDelete"Feeling depressed? Lost? Trapped in a world of darkness? See if your doctor might be able to prescribe favicon. Favicon has been known to cause severe diarrhea, bloating, intestinal warts, boils, and lesions."
You're right Christi! It's working. It must be magic.
ReplyDeleteABFTS, At this point I'd deal with those symptoms if I could just get my blog to be more professional looking.
