I started to explore the world of google adsense and added all the codes and buttons given in my google adsense account. I even went ahead and signed up with Yahoo , Amazon as affiliate and filled up my site with their buttons too. After all these , I went to bed thinking that I will be a billionaire or atleast a millionaire in a few months. :-)
In the next few days, reality struck and I understood that filling up site with adsense codes and buttons does not bring visitors and it is the content that brings people to the site. My site looked terrible with buttons and ads flashing all over the place. Took help from Balaji and cleaned it up a bit. Now, I just have a single adsense code in my site. I don’t want to irritate my visitors anymore. Now I feel that adsense definitely adds sense.

I wanted create a FavIcon for my website with a decent picture of mine. Googling favicon creator fetched me a lot of results. The first result helped me to accomplish my task.
The tutorial on how to create FavIcon from Pictures is really easy and clear. They even help us to test it online. After all, easy tutorials like these will help a lot of dumb webmasters like me to learn a bit.

I am quite comfortable with it because it is online and so I don’t have to worry about missing any of the feeds, as I am used to read blogs both at office and home. My blogroll in bloglines can be shared publicly and there is an option to mark certain feeds as private so that they are not shown public.

I was pondering all day today on how to customise bloglines blogroll in my weblog. I could not figure it out as it required expertise in php and css. Oops! I am not an expert in any of these though. As always, I turned towards Balaji and he came to the rescue. He took a few hours and coded up my bloglines blogrolls seen in the sidebar. It has come out well. Everytime, I add or remove a feed in bloglines, the blogroll displayed in my weblog is going to pick it up and update it automatically. Good job man! Thanks a lot!
