What is a Favicon.ico and how do I add it to my site

www.Heka1.com

A favicon is a small icon that is used by some browsers to identify a bookmarked Web site. The favicon allows the Web developer to customize the site in the Web browser, both in the tab bar that is displayed in many browsers as well as in the bookmarks when a site is saved.

These icons need to be one of the following dimensions:

16x16 pixels
32x32 pixels

To add the icons to your site there are two steps.

Create a favicon and upload it to the main directory of your website
Place the code below between the <head> tags

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Video Tracking Software

www.Heka1.com

I read many blogs and news articles online to stay up to date on the latest hardware and software. Well I recently I found a new software package that offers video analytics. This software package allows users to have a visual and statistical way to keep track of their viral video. The software lets the user know which of their videos are popular and which of their videos that just tank.

This software also keeps track of the time the viewers leave your videos.(Click the image to visit the official site)

New Project Finished in collaboration with Chris "Norway" Fleischer

www.Heka1.com

A few days ago I was asked by my friend Chris Fleischer aka Norway to help him out on a new project he is currently working on for his client. Chris asked me to take the "Mada" logo that was previously created and turn it into a full 3D design. So the past couple of days I have been working on the model for a couple hours here and there. Well last night I finished the model/render of the "Mada" logo and got the OK from Chris. You will see below 4 samples I sent Norway. And by the way, Chris lives in Norway and I am here in Portland, Oregon.
