This Weeks Useful Tool for Computer Users – Mofuse, Mobile for Blogs

happyscreen.JPGI come across quite a few programs, applications and features almost every day in the course of normal work-a-day research trying to find the right tools to use in the Computer Consulting Business.

As a result, I often find some little known Free Downloadable or Online Features that could be of use to almost anyone to make their computing experience a little bit better and more productive.

This is just such a find…

 Have you ever wondered why some  Blogs look better than others on your iPhone, iPad or other mobile device?

That’s because the good lookers are using something like Mofuse as a way to create a Mobile Version of their blogs so they look good, even on a cell phone.

Mofuse

The service is Free for Blogs although they do have a paid version for a Professional setting with no advertisements. The main advantage of using Mofuse is that it is simple to set up an account and they have a revenue sharing setup if you want to make a little money on the side.

Check out the Blog Version of Mofuse to set up a way for your readers to find your blog on the run. 

I hope you find this tool to be something useful in your daily computing experience.

Ever wonder why some websites and blogs have their cute little Logo showing in your toolbar and others don’t?

Favicon from Pics

Its Free and easy to create your own Favicon.

  1. Go to Favicon from Pics
  2. Upload your image & create Favicon
  3. Download .ico file to your computer
  4. Upload it to the “root” file of your site
  5. Navigate to your index.html file & insert <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> between <head> and </head>

You should now have your Favicon set and ready to go. (It should also show in your Favorites bar on Windows).

Sorry, this won’t work on Blogger.com or WordPress.com because you don’t have access to the “root” folder (it’s THEIR domain).

I hope you find this tool to be something useful in your daily computing experience.

This Weeks Useful Tool for Computer Users – WP Super Cache

Traffic SpikeAs anyone who works online knows, when someone lands on your site you have a split second for them to make a decision if it’s where they want to be. That being the case, if your page loads slowly, they will be gone before they can see what you have to offer.

If you have a WordPress Blog then there is a solution (at least to page-load time).

WP Super Cache will increase page load times for your visitors and readers by generating html files that are served directly by Apache without processing comparatively heavy PHP scripts (especially useful if you are Dugg or Stumbled upon).

You can read more specifics about the plugin on the home page of the author of WP Super Cache or go directly to the Dowload Page to start using it right away.

Just so you know, I use the plugin on all my WordPress Blogs and highly recommend it for that just in case you’re Dugg moment. ;-)

I hope you find this tool to be something useful in your daily computing experience.
