Favicon For Your Blog
Click here to find out what a favicon is.
To put up a favicon on your blog at blogger.com, follow the following steps
1) First of all create a favicon or find one from the internet. Preferred sizes for favicons are 16x16 or 32x32 pixels. 16x16 is preferred as it works best with old browsers too. The favicon image file should have a .ico extension. I'm not sure if .jpg or other image extensions work for favicons or not. You can also use softwares for generating favicons. You can find such softwares by googling the term 'favicon generators'.
2) Once you have selected your favicon, then you need to get its location or URL on the internet. If you decide to pick up a favicon from the internet the copy the location of the image. If you made a favicon or your own then you need to upload it on some free image hosting sites like photobucket. After uploading your .ico file you need to get its location or URL.
3) If you do not have an account at any image hosting site or if you do not want to go through the tedious procedure of creating a new account, then you can try this alternative. Create a new post on your blogger blog. Upload your favicon image to this post. View your post in the 'Compose' mode. Right click the image and choose the 'Copy Link Location' option. Paste the copied link location in any text editor. Find the following phrase in the link '/s1600-h/' and replace it with '/s1600/'. Use this newly created link as the 'URL of your favicon image'.
4) Once you have the URL of your .ico file,
go to the dashboard of your blogger account > click on Layout > Edit HTML.
5) After clicking on Edit HTML you'll have the HTML/XML code of your blog template in front of you. Locate the tag in this code, it will mostly be at the beginning of the code so you'll be able to find it without needing to scroll down the code.
6) Just below the tag, you'll find the following line -
<title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title>
Put this line just below the line showed above.
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
Replace 'URL of your icon file' with the URL of your icon file.
7) Save the changes and you've given your blog a new look with a brand new favicon!!!! [:)].

One term that was Greek to many, some years back and is emerging big time in the recent times is medical tourism. As the name is self suggestive, medical tourism refers to a tour that is made for medical purpose. Countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, and Columbia were already the favorites as far as medical tourism is concerned. Of late India has emerged as a top favorite destination for medical tourism and is expected to be tough competition to these already established countries. So much so that the ASSOCHAM has predicted that medical tourism would become the leading factor bringing in foreign exchange for India. Indian states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerela are very famous for there ethnic medicinal powers. Incidentally these states are also very developed infrastructure wise and financial. As for example, Chennai is one of the metros of India. Needless to say the city witnesses all the forms of tourisms-business, leisure, and medical. Being a metro, the hotels in Chennai has to cater to all the types of tourists coming in from various corners of the globe. There are exclusive business hotels in Chennai apart from the luxury ones. Budget hotels in Chennai also have the standard features so that they are appropriate for every class of travelers.
Something to say?
