When i woke up today, my goal was to add something new to my site, and then write a tutorial for how i setup, what i added When i came across this new idea, i was really satisfied with the result, what i am obviously talking about is the new Favicon i added recently to the site! Favicon is that little logo that goes next to the address you typed in the browser! Normally it looks dull and plain like this.

After this tutorial it should be alot more razzle dazzle!

First step is to select the type of favicon you want places most website go with logos or initials of the website! Us here at the thekingkongblog.com, decided to go with a logo of King kong, no not me the actual monkey!

So once you have found the logo you will be using, we found this amazing site that make a favicon from any picture provided.

Favicon From Pics :

1. Upload pictures
2. click generate favicon
3. download

Once all that is complete you will need to install the favicon so it loads where you want it to! For you beginners out there and/or lazy pros Digital Ramble, have made up a plugin which is straight forward in installation and implementation!

Download the plug in Here.

After all the steps are complete you should have a end result similar to this:

Hope this satisfied you favicon dreams!!!

We went around several blogs and posted the comment preach brother preach if you received one of those comments you will soon be highlighting that post in our preach monkey preach series. So this is how it’s going to go we will be providing a link and a small excerpt from the post! I hope you enjoy it!

Nate Whitehill: 5 ways to get bloggers to link to your posts!

We are definitely taking advice with the first way which says,

“Link To Other Blogs.

Simply put, what goes around, comes around. If you link to other bloggers, they will most likely notice and possibly link back to you in the future. I give out my link love in a series of posts called “Powerful Posts.” Most of the bloggers who I link to usually have linked to me in the past or end up linking to me in the future. Now that I think about it, I have a difficult time recalling a blog that I have linked to that didn’t end up linking to me at some point before or after.”

Definitely check out the entire post, very eye opening plus his success speaks for itself!

Everybody Go To: Achieving Blogging Nirvana!

We haven’t come across for us to need to implement it but it’s a definite way to cope when it does,

“How Do You Achieve Blogging Nirvana? Well, for starters stop stressing about what your next blog post is going to be about, you don’t have to write one more post today from fear of your readers dropping your feed, it’s OK if you didn’t write a good enough article that would get dugg, stumbled, reddited etc….JUST RELAX!”

If those of you having writers blog, this will either help you out or unblog it :D!

Vincent Chow: Eleven Rules By Bill Gates!

We are definitely humored and shocked by the truthiness of these eleven rules,

“Rule 10:
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to
leave the coffee shop and go to work.”

Friends reference I believe!

One Mans Goal: The Blogger Challenge!

This is a challenge beginning in August and today is your last chance to enter, check it out!

“The Blogger Challenge

I’ve decided today to hold a contest for the month of August. Starting August 1, every blog that enters the contest will be attempting to better their blog. They will have the top percentage increase in each of 3 categories… Technorati Favorites, Technorati Authority, and Alexa Ranking. You can win one… or take home the TRIPLE CROWN by winning them all. In case you were wondering, I chose these categories because they can be viewed by anyone. That way there is no question of who the “true” winner is.

I’ve decided to judge the results based on percentage rather than total numbers so that it levels the playing field. The newer blogs aren’t usually going to be able to compete with the older more established ones, so we’ll judge based on top percentage increases. There are three “weight” classes to enter your blog in. Heavyweight (over 500 Authority), Middleweight (up to 101-499 Authority), and Lightweight (under 100 Authority). These classes aren’t set in stone, I’ll adjust them accordingly based on who enters and how many people are in each class.”

Should be very informative and community building exercise, much less than a competition!

John Cow: Bovine Comedy - Envy!

Help other than, put other down!

“It’s easier to bash someone’s achievements than to recognize and acknowledge them. This unfortunately is part of human nature which relates to an ancient mechanism in our brains. Everything has to be about ourselves, survival of the fittest and looking out for number one. Don’t forget that most of the popular bloggers didn’t get where they are now without hard work. Some luck is involved and being somewhere at the right time can definitely influence a blog’s popularity but nothing comes for free. Except the $500 we’re giving away.”

Check out the rest of the post very humbling!

Number 5:

I thought I would first show you the video, and then go on to explain since, things are a lot cooler before you, know how they work then soon after you lose interest, or at least that’s how it is with me! All that beeping and bopping you guys heard wasn’t a monkey jumping around in there, it was an invention by Musician and inventor Aleksei R. Stevens, he granted this invention the name of Soundball, not too creative but it gets the point across! I have probably watched this video 10 times already I just like the sound it makes plus the girl getting hit in the face was hilarious!

Number 4:

Finally, the laptop I have been waiting for HP HDX!! Not only does it have a model number you can pronounce with having to make the face like you need to go to the bathroom, it boasts the new revamped centrino processor, gaming spec that will make the most hardcore gamer drool plus it’s shiny!! Yeah were monkeys not much else can beat shiny!

Number 3:

This phone is just pure magic in my eyes, just one of the most sleek and performance enhanced phones in the market it boasts a 5 megapixel camera resolution to battle Nokia’s best photo phone! Click here to get full specs!

Number 2:

I honestly can’t get enough of this service, just those days at home mopping around I like to turn to Joost to lighten my mood and can check out my favorite music videos, or check out the world’s strongest men attempt to turn over cars so peony that make Volkswagen beetles look like SUVs, by the way I am giving away three invites to the service, to the first three commenters and subscribers! Email when both are complete!

Number 1 (King Kong’s Pick of the week):

LOST is streaming in HD!! When I saw this jaw nearly dropped not because of the hot girl but about the fact that ABC is streaming its HD content of such amazing shows such as lost! I wish I could see all of it online but they only offer it to US residents, sometimes I feel like Canada get the shaft in these arrangements a lot of the time. If there are any fans out there drop me a line I would love to talk theory! Well I hoped you enjoy this tech top 5 update brought to you by none other than King Kong!

Average Joe is also holding Link Love trains on his site give it a shout!
