Syntax highlighter and code formatter for Blogger

Another time-waster was a decent code formatter and syntax highlighter. I google out following solution, it is based on SyntaxHighlighter 3 It has interesting options:
  1. You can select the language for which a syntax-colored
  2. Turn on/off line numbering
  3. Themes - this one is pretty nice for my blog
  4. Customizable tabs size
  5. The option to disable toolbar
My dream would be to create a theme that would look similar to vim syntax highlighing.

Blogger favicon in Chrome and FF

I didn't imagine that placing the code for favicon can be so time consuming. Here are some tpis and tricks that can be useful to others.
1. First find or create favicon (google or favicon.cc)
2. Make sure that you have not set any favicon (Design-> Page Elelments-> Favicon)
3. Add this code below </head> tag

<link href='http://bsaves.com/HowHero/Blogger%20Templates/moonspot/images/favicon.ico' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon' />
<link href='http://bsaves.com/HowHero/Blogger%20Templates/moonspot/images/favicon.ico' rel='icon'/>
This tip comes from here. It doesn't work on IE but this did not bother me.

If you want put the favicon in the network to imageshack.us to receive a direct link from them you must register. For those who do not want to do that I propose to use available in Chrome the "inspect element" feature with its help you can easily read the entire value of the field "Direct Link" on imageshack.

Blogspot beginning

1. Blog should be correctly displayed under lynx
2. I'm not a sophisticated graphic designer, so I can not afford a sensational appearance (so far).
