If you aren’t creating a favorite icon for your website urls, you should! The icon is saved to the surfer’s bookmarks and it’s a fact that people do become familiar with a site’s “icon/name brand” and will often click on it over a site that they don’t remember.

A favicon (short for “favorites icon”) is an icon associated with a website or webpage intended to be used when you bookmark the web page. Web browsers use them in the URL bar, on tabs, and elsewhere to help identify a website visually.

A favicon is a graphic 16 x 16 pixels square and needs to be saved as favicon.ico and uploaded into the root directory of your server. You can use a favicon with any WordPress blog where you have ftp access to the root directory.

Easity create a favicon with a graphics program that will allow the saving of .ico graphic files, such as The GIMP. There are also online services that will allow you to create a favicon for free, such as  favicon.co.uk or Dynamic Drive, or HtmlKit.  Just follow the instructions provided by the site, save your creation and then download the image file  of the favicon.ico to your computer..

The image should be clear and is usually designed to match your blog image and/or content, a big task for something so small.

To prepare the image to be saved as favicon.ico:

1. By cropping or adding space around the image, make the image square.
2. Resize the image to 16 x 16 pixels.
3. Save the file as favicon.ico.

Installing a Favicon in WordPress

If there is already an old favicon.ico file in your current theme’s main folder, delete it using FTP Clients.

1. With an FTP Client, upload the new favicon.ico file into your current theme’s main folder.
2. Upload another copy of your favicon.ico file to the main directory of your site (ie. http://example.com/favicon.ico). This will display the favicon in your subscribers’ feedreaders.

To see your new favicon, clear your browser’s cache. You may need to restart your browser in order to see the new favicon.

If you have been searching for some new handwriting fonts, there’s a great collection you can choose from in a recent post on www.line25.com by Corey Kliewer, a site devoted to web design.

Or you can just head on over to DaFont or Font Squirrel or Simply The Best Fonts and browse the hundreds and hundreds of free fonts that are available for download. Just remember that loading up your hard drive with a huge fonts collection does slow down your OS load time, as well as the load time for the design program you’re using them in.

Now through Nov 15th Bigstock Photo is having a 25% off sale on all images bought using their pay as you go method. So if you have been needing some royalty free images, adult or otherwise, for your projects, now is the time to stock up!

How to find the *Adult imagery:

When the Bigstock Photo site first loads you’ll see on left side of the page is the link to start viewing images with the pay as you go option. Click on that and when the page opens up you’ll see a search box at the very top of the page. Just beneath the search box button it says ADVANCED SEARCH. Use that feature to choose various specifics that you want to search by, including changing the Mature Content from Hide to Show.

*Note: Adult imagery does include nudes, but no actual sex. These will be suggestive and/or erotic photos, vector art, drawings, etc.

In my last post I discussed how to setup a free tube site using WordPress and a free WPTube theme. Today I’ll go over a couple of points that can take you to the next step: converting your WordPress tube site into a membership paysite.

Using the free Wp-paysite plugin you can create a member’s area that is password protected.  This free PaySite script gives you the ability to run a membership site based on the WordPress platform. It covers both front-end and back-end functionality preserving generic WordPress features. As you add 30 second or 1 minute video clips to the tube in the public area, you’re add the matching full length video inside the member’s area.

Features:

• Handles both photo and video updates for the front-end.
• Automatically crops thumbnails for both front-end and members area
• Main update image for photo updates and adjustable number of additional images
• Integrated flash player for video updates display at the front-end.
• Any additional info pages for the front-end.
• Manages photo and video updates at the member area
• Possibility to categorize updates
• Dynamic or static front-end
• Multilingual support
• Configurable number of free tour pages and updates per page

Now create buttons that go under each tube clip that say something like “watch the full length video now!” or “view more” and link it to your join page.

You’ll need to setup a billing system, and I don’t recommend using Paypal, as they are quite likely to terminate your account once they realize you are processing payments for adult content. CCBill is an excellent processor, plus you can also use their services if you decide to open up your paysite to affiliate promotion. Other adult billing processors can be found doing a quick search via Google.

Once you have the site built, and your billing processor in place you’re ready to start promoting it. Look for linklists that accept paysite listings, get links and banners onto your other domain properties/blogs. Put together and submit some movie galleries to the tgp sites, and you can also submit some of your tube clips to other tube sites to bring traffic back around to yours. Now have some fun and good luck on generating a nice profit!

**Note: If you are having problems getting your video files to play, try using the free Anarchy Media plugin. There is also a version for non-wordpress websites.
