How to change the Favicon for your Blogger blog - step-by-step tutorial

                   A Favicon is a small image which is associated with your blog. It is used in many places. For example, most browser, you will see a small icon besides the title of the page. In my case, it shows two letters 'SC'* . By default, Favicon of a Blogger blog is a letter 'B' written in an orange background*.

In this tutorial I'm gonna show you how to set a favicon for your Blogger blog.

STEP 1 :  Get your Favicon ready.

You may do this by creating an image with your photoshop or any other means but the dimensions of image should be 16X16 px and the format should be .ico. Or much more easier is to create your Favicon with a free online tool in here. I always prefer the latter method. It is a very simple process to get your image/animation using this tool. Draw as you like and after you finish just click 'Download Favicon' and you will now have your .ico file.

STEP 2 : Go to the layout settings of your blog from blogger. On the upper right corner you will see 'Favicon' setting. Click on edit and a new window will pop up.

STEP 3 : Go ahead and click on 'choose file' and upload your .ico file.

STEP 4 : Now click 'Save' and the window will automatically close.

STEP 5 : You will see your favicon in place of the default one on the layout page when the window closes. This means everything is good and you have your very own favicon for your blog now. One last step. Click save arrangement on the upper right corner of your layout page, and 'View Blog' on the upper left. 

That's it! You are now good to go with your blog's new favicon!!

Dev C++ - Review + Variations from Turbo C++

           I was addicted to the old school Turbo C++, until very recently, until I met Dev C++. For those who don't know new C++, Dev C++ may be a little strange, but once you get used to some minor changes from that of TC++ , you will be amazed how sophisticated is Dev C++ Compliler. 

       Some of the features I love the most are :

• Automatic Indentation 
• Syntax Highlighting
• Updated and ready to go!
• Error identification is BITCHIN'!!!

So if you are not satisfied with Turbo C++, I completely recommend you to move on to Dev C++, but you have to know the changes to be made in the program as for it to work with Dev C++. I am listing here, two of the most basic variations of DC++ from TC++ here:

     

1. .header extension is removed, and most of the header names are changed. For example in TC++,  you include iostream header as : #include<iostream.h> , whereas in Dev C++, you should remove .h extension and type it like this : #include<iostream>. There are many header variations like this.
2. Another important change is that, inorder to make the program work, you are required to enter this :          using namespace std;                                                                                                               in between the header inclusion and class/function declaration. 

 Here is the addition program in two compilers:

Turbo

#include<iostream.h>

void main(){

int a=3,b=3,c;

c=a+b;

cout<<c;

}

Dev

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void main(){

int a=3,b=3,c;

c=a+b;

cout<<c;

}

So, to conclude, Dev C++ is loaded up with many amazing and sophisticated features. And it is also opensource (FREE!) . You may download it from their website. 

That is all for now guys..
