I am a Christian

I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Adding a favicon to your website ;-)!

Hi Guys

I just wanted to let you know about favicons, & how to add them to your website.

What is a favicon >
A favicon is just a little icon / logo in the top left corner of your tab so that your website is easily recognizable to others.
It also makes your website look more professional as it has your icon / logo when your site loads in the browser.
Users are also able to find it at a glance if they have multiple tabs open in their browser(s) ;-).

I hope that helps (HTH)
Take care

Here's more information about what a favicon is:

As well as some favicon generators:

I hope you all enjoy the festivities & God bless ;-).

BE Foolish Enough To Believe In Miracles
BE Willing To Share Your Joys
BE Willing To Share The Sorrows Of Others
BE A Leader When You See A Path Others Have Missed
BE A Follower When You Are Shrouded In The Midst Of Uncertainty
BE The First To Congratulate An Opponent Who Succeeds
BE The Last To Criticize A Colleague Who Fails
BE Sure Where Your Next Step Will Fall, So That You Will Not Stumble
BE Sure Of Your Final Destination, In Case You Are Going The Wrong

who Cares......
