Well, I have a lot of bookmarks on my chrome bookmark bar. They are which I visit most. And I don’t name for them. Only favicons are displayed.

I find it’s very effective to only by clicking a favion when I want to enter a website I like.

Also when you are surfing the Internet. Couples of tabs were opened by you. You can easily distinguish the tab by favicons.

How about the address bar? You like a favicon on the left of the address or a blank icon?

Put yourself in the place of another, when your blog are visited by others, is it essential to have a favicon on your blog? I think so.

OK, let me give you more reasons why you need to use a favicon on your blog. A favicon isn’t there just for looks, it has a subtle – yet important – role in building the brand on your website. When a visitor sees one on your blog, that can be a strong indicator that they came the right place.

So, you still don’t have a favicon on your blog? go here get one. Or ask your designer friends to design one for you.

It’s easy to begin to use a favicon, just upload your favicon.ico to the root director of your website if you use wordpress.

I am a new blogger. I read a lot about how to blog everyday. But I don’t performance what I plan to do effectively. This morning I read an article from problogger on my google reader. He suggested some tips that new blogger should follow. I would like to share them to you.

Here is the list:

1. Publish 10 Posts.
2. Getting your first comment from someone you don’t know.
3. Get your first link from another blog.
4. Build your readership up to more than 20 readers a day.
5. Hit a level of 20 RSS subscribers.
6. Getting your blog indexed in google.
7. Get your blog earning $1 a week (update: only if making money from your blog is one of your goals – it’s not for everyone).
8. First guest post on another blog.
9. Having someone (not you or your mum) tweet about your blog.

Some of the lists I’ve already done and some not. I can’t agree more with the content above. This time, I will take action. What do you think? Any other good ideas?
