Here’s an interesting article by AutoLemming.

“All brands of cars have a story, and logos are those that bear them in history. In this article we present the most popular auto logos of the world.”

For example:

Toyota

The Toyota logo contains three ellipses which represent the heart of the customer, the heart of the product and the heart of technological progress and limitless opportunities of the future. In Japanese, “Toyo” signifies abundance, and “ta” means rice. In some Asian cultures, the rice represents wealth.

I just had to post these computer nerd quotes.  Once you [geeks] read them, it’ll make sense.

I just found out that the brain is like a computer. If that’s true, then there really aren’t any stupid people. Just people running DOS.

You’ve probably noticed some websites having an image in the address bar, like so:

These are called favicons (short for “favorites icon”) and in this post I’ll show you how to add one into your website.

1. Create an image you want to represent your website (most likely you already have a logo for your blog).
2. If the image is not square (i.e., the width and height are not the same), convert it into a square image, either by cropping or adding whitespace (or blackspace) to the sides or top and bottom.  You can use GIMP or PhotoShop.
3. Resize the image to 16 x 16 pixels.
4. Save the file as favicon.ico.
5. Copy the favicon.ico into:
   1. Your current theme’s main folder (i.e., wp-content/theme/themename)
   2. In your website’s main directory (i.e., http://sitename.com/favicon.ico).
6. You might as well add this line into your current theme’s header.php file for older browsers to see it:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />

Note: If a line already exists that ends with /favicon.ico,overwrite it with the line above.

7. Save your changes.
8. Reload your website and that’s it!

Enjoy!

P.S. The favicon on my website is a headshot of me.  =0)

Here’s a how-to in adding whitespace in your WordPress posts, as the WordPress system currently wipes them out:

For a blank line:
<p align="none"> </p>For a double blank line:
<p align="none">&nbsp;</p>For an indented beginning (or any other space formatting), format the text in a simple text editor, enclose it in the following code, then copy-paste the whole:
<pre style="font:inherit;"> TEXT </pre>

Enjoy!
