Do you know that senseless pinging practices of WordPress could have banned you already from Social Media web sites? An that it can very well happen with the default settings of your WordPress blog? It might be a bit overwhelming with all the nasty questions. To ease the pressure a bit, let’s start with a simple question.

So, what do you know about pinging?

In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated.

Well, long story short - Favicon means Favorite Icon. It supports and enhances the branding of a web site by actually displaying a customized icon in the browser’s URL box, and next to the site’s bookmark in a browser’s bookmark list. For an example, if you’re in the tabbed mode of your browser, you can see the logo of ROCKFUSE appearing in a 16×16 pixel size. The same with your browser’s URL, if you’re using a supporting browser. The Favicon is indeed an ico file that is 16×16 pixels.

Do I really need it?

Well, if you think that a 16×16 image can’t change how your blog performs, I’d say you’re right.

He’s a multi-platinum country superstar and was featured in the Celebrity Apprentice (Yeah, the “Donald Trump” show) which concluded few weeks back. I’m sure most of you know the ‘hows’ and ‘whats’ of the show, so let’s cut to the chase.

Well, for starters, Trace didn’t win the show. Nope. Piers Morgan did. But Trace did make the finals. So, here’s the thing. I’ve been following “The Apprentice” for all of the 7 seasons and it’s the first time the guy who was liked lesser than the other came through in the finals.
