How to create iphone icon for your website?

Well, it’s simple and almost free of cost if you could design an 57×57 px size icon yourself. Without wasting anymore time lets jump to see the process;

Create a 57×57 pixel PNG format image for your website.  Name the file apple-touch-icon.png

Drop this apple-touch-icon.png file in the root directory of your website, see if you can view the uploaded image by visiting http://www.yourdomain.com/apple-touch-icon.png (replace yourdomain with your site name)

Note:

if you cannot upload the image to the root directory, you can upload to a sub-folder and put a rel tag in the homepage of your site. for example: upload the png file to images folder and put this tag <link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”/images/apple-touch-icon.png”/> (make sure you put this tag in between <head> </head> tag of your homepage source code)

Open your website in iphone’s safari browser

Open your website in iphone's safari browser

 then click on “+” sign

List of Press Release Distribution Sites

Sep 12 |02:14

Here is the list of PR distribution sites, hope it will be useful for those who are in search of the press release sites.

Before you download the PR sites list, always remember that you do a press release only when you have something news worthy otherwise you can try articles submission instead.

Check your PR whether;

  • It’s News worthy to say
  • It’s not an Advertisement, so get it done by a professional
  • Follow the PR guidelines on the PR distribution sites, in general the basic guidelines will be common but it’s worth checking them in all sites as some has unique requirements.

Note: I will keep updating the Press Release distribution sites list file regularly, so keep watching this space at regular intervals for updated list of pr sites.

If you find any press release site of poor quality (spam & etc) or a site that is no longer live, please post here and I will update the same on the actual file.

I have attached the .txt file with this post and you can dowload it from the attached file section below.

A day with out Computer & Internet

Sep 12 |01:39

Yes, finally I did it. Spent all day without using computer and internet. For years I have been trying to limit the number of hours I spend working on computer (ofcourse this is after the office work hours). Either it’s on R&D work or entertainment, I spend 12 – 16 hrs approx. on computer (including office 8 hrs). This does not mean I ignore my social life, I always make time for friends, family & most important my geeky shoppings :D

I am happy to spend the whole day without being a geek, so 11th Sep 2010 is something special for me :) .

Are you a geek or work-a-holic who is trying to make a different by cutting off the tech from your life for a day at least? share your thoughts plz..
