We
suggest
strongly
that you use
a favicon
What is
a favicon???
It's a small
graphic that
displays in
the browser
tab; VERY
IMPORTANT in
today's
world of
FireFox and
IE 7.
This small
feature is
easy to
implement
and brands
your site;
really
driving
repeat
visits.
You create a
small .png
file,
convert it
to a
specialized
format (Do a
quick search
on the
internet for
handy dandy
converter
applications)
and add a
line of code
similar to
the one
below:
| <link
REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="http://yourdomain/favicon.ico"> |
|
 |
And
voil; your
logo appears
on the tab
at the top
of the
window.
Wow, that
was
easy..... |
As soon as you start to mix music and the web you will want to
find out about "streaming" - transfer of your music via http - Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol - using your regular web server. In most web editor programs just check the page
properties. Usually you can specify a "background" sound. Link this
to your .wav or midi file and when the page loads this sound is played through the
browser.
We suggest using midi files - they are
smaller and load faster.
You can also make them yourself using any General Midi keyboard. Check it
out, its cool.
Why not imbed .wav files? A
.wav file must download completely before playing - this make take 5 minutes or more -
chances are they won't stick around long enough to hear it.
