How to change your Wordpress Favicon
I recently wrote a post on how to change your Blogger Favicon so it’s only fair that I write a post on how to do the same on the Wordpress platform.
I have to mention it is a bit easier than changing your Blogger Favicon. If you were wondering, a favicon is your site’s ‘icon’ which [...]
Looking for a contact form?
A contact form is providing a form-based interface in your site or blog to contact you (the webmaster), it is much more user-friendly than just providing an email address and encourages conversation so you should probably be looking to use one on your site.

How to Handle Custom Domains With Gmail
Most cheap domain hosts like GoDaddy are not actually cheap (there always has to be a catch huh!), the other ‘average’ priced hosts ($60 – $90) provide free domain transfer if required, free mail boxes with sufficient web space and more.

I mentioned in my ‘moving to wordpress’ post that I would be having a ‘Blogger vs Wordpress’ post. I already have a quite a bit [...]
