Making My Site Better for My Readers
Apr 24th, 2007 by msdanielle
I added a feature today that I really needed badly, but hadn’t taken the time yet to include. Fortunately for me, Bobs over at ReformatThis wrote a post today about a plugin he created called Bob’s Simplistic Navigation. The theme I’m using — MistyLook 3.2 — apparently didn’t come with a “previous post” / “next post” kind of feature. Thanks, Sadish. jk

The plugin works great. Thanks, Bob! And it’s as simple to install as the name implies. I hope it helps with my site nav. Now I just have to get my RelatedPosts working, and create my favicon. Jez…Bobs…help??

Hey Danielle,
Check out:
Ms. Danielle’s FavIcon
If you like it feel free to use it, you just have to make sure that you take off the msdanielle_ part from the icon file.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
How’s it look as a 16×16? I had an image I wanted to use that looked real nice big but when I smushed it, it looked weird.
wow! awesome bobs!! thanks! i made a sad attempt at trying to create a favicon…
this is way better than anything i could do! yay!!!
Hm, I had my favicon post scheduled before I read your comments. =P
Creating a favicon isn’t as hard as I thought it’d be.
i know, right? i prob could have made one if i thought about cropping my header image. i didn’t think about that, but i prob wouldn’t have cropped it as nicely as bobs did.
i tried making a “MsD” favicon, kinda like the one on sitelogic.co.uk but it looked really bad when i “smushed” it too (using ur lingo)
post your favicon article. i’d like to read it. i didn’t get very far with my attempts, i’m sure a lot of people would find it useful!
I think it ended up looking great! Its kind of cool actually, you looking at your own url
Favicons can be easy, it all just depends on what you plan to do.
thanks again, bobs! i love favicons bc it’s easy to spot the sites by logo in firefox (tabs). sometimes i have 10 – 15 tabs open (i know, bad habit). but it helps!
hopefully you can get your plugin referenced in the wordpress directory!
