There have been two burning questions among developers recently:
"What is that favicon.ico not found error that is filling my Error_log?" and
"How do I get a custom icon next to my bookmark link in Internet
Explorer?" These may sound like unrelated questions, yet both can be
answered at the same time. This article explains how to create the
icon, where to place it on your server and how to add it to your html
files.
This is a collection of brief tutorials, bug alerts, and general advice
on various topics such as HTML and its extensions, web page design and
layout, browsers, and web graphics.
The site is authored by Dmitry Kirsanov, a freelance writer and web
designer from St.Petersburg, Russia.
This article gives an overview of effective
page design with seven rules:
1.Know Your Goals;
2.Organize Concepts First;
3.Good Writing Counts;
4.Balance Aesthetics with Performance;

6.Get Linked to the Rest of the Web;
7.Maintain Your Page Regularly.
These statements of architectural principle explain the thinking behind
the specifications. These are personal notes by Tim Berners-Lee:

and avoid repetition of discussions once resolved.
The purpose of this site is not to teach people how to produce web
pages. There is little mention of HTML or any other technical stuff
other than in passing. It is assumed that the reader already has a
grasp of HTML programming, or has made the decision to use one of the
new WYSIWYG web page editors.
It is aimed at people who are already involved with design and
typography for conventional print and want to explore the
possibilities of this new electronic medium. They are probably already
using page layout tools like Quark XPress, PhotoShop, Freehand and
Illustrator and have discovered that designing web pages is something
quite different.
This popular style guide treats Web page and site design as a
challenge that combines traditional editorial approaches to documents
with graphic design, user interface design, information design,
and the technical authoring skills required to optimize the HTML code,
graphics, and text within Web pages.
