Previously I have posted Stripe Generator 2.0, so Background Image Maker (http://lab.rails2u.com/bgmaker) is something similar to Stripe Generator 2.0, but Background Image Maker allows you to create Slash, Dot, Stripe and Gradation background, while Stripe 2.0 allows you to create stripe background only. with the assistance of these online tools, now we do not need to spend lots of time to create pattern to use in our website or blog’s background.

How do you generator favicon (16×16 icon)? Like what I have done previously, I use Photoshop to draw the image, and then I use IrfanView software to convert this image to .ico format. Actually you don’t need to follow my step, there is an online tool which allows you to create favicon from the image. Once you are done, you can download your icon in .ico format. That’s easy and save time.

In order to display the favicon in your website or blog, first you need to upload your icon to the server and enter the following code between and in your HTML. (change the url and icon name to your own)

<link href=”http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico” rel=”shortcut icon” />
