I was just wondering, how to show my site icon in feed readers.
I mean, is there any code use to display those or only the icons of those sites which has lots of readers are shown there?

I thought those little icons are picked from the availability of your site’s favicon right?
I do have favicon for my site and how come it never been pick up in my feed readers?

Anybody knows a way to show those icons? Any code for that or …??
It’s so unfair! I want to see my icons!!!

Rojo even display screen shots for some sites. Why only some sites?
Is there a way to submit your site screen shot or favicon to those feed readers?

My feed look boring! I want it to show off the favicon/screenshot like others atleast!

Help! Anybody? Somebody? Nobody?

Have you guys heard of this “Lightbox JS” yet? It’s pretty cool way of displaying images.
It’s really neat and compatible across all modern browsers.

Lightbox JS is a simple piece of JavaScript that allows you to place images above the page rather than within. A thumbnail image can be clicked on to show the full size image ontop of the page which remains darkened in the background. Closing the overlayed image brings the webpage back to normal, the user never leaves the current page.

I got an idea to use this lightbox in a new section that I’m planning to add here. At the moment I’m a bit lazy to test it yet but one of our very own developer has already used that in the new revamp of FijiTimes site and it’s working like a charm. You can have a look at in the story section. Click on the story image to enlarge and see how it go. Cool huh!

Benefits
Places images above your current page, not within. This frees you from the constraints of the layout, particularly column widths.

Keeps users on the same page. Clicking to view an image and then having to click the back button to return to your site is bad for continuity (and no fun!).

More info on what/how to use LightBox JS can be find as follows:

This is just a follow up for yesterday post, “Web 3.0″. Like I said in that post, I wasn’t sure of what Web 2.0 is so I did abit of surfing and the results are numerious.
Anyway I got bored reading all of those so just noted a few quotes and notes only.
Always go for wiki and there you’ll know what web 2.0 is.

The term “Web 2.0″ refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the World Wide Web, including its architecture and its applications.

I also found out the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Well I didn’t even know there was Web 1.0. I just know there is a web and now it got lots of versions.

Web 1.0 often consisted of static HTML pages that were updated rarely, if at all.

Proponents of the Web 2.0 approach believe that Web usage is increasingly oriented toward interaction and rudimentary social networks, which can serve content that exploits network effects with or without creating a visual, interactive web page.

Some comparison examples given there are:
“DoubleClick was Web 1.0; Google AdSense is Web 2.0. Ofoto is Web 1.0; Flickr is Web 2.0.”

A few more web 2.0 examples as follow. Not my compilation, I just digg it up and place it here to make my own copy.
You can see proper compilation with brief intros here.

Man I’m just starting to realize and utilize the very popular term Web 2.0 and now it’s been move up to Web 3.0. Damn speed of technology, sooooo fast!. My brain can’t keep up.
I wasn’t 100% sure of what the hell this Web 2.0 is and now I’m totally lost. I just know Web 2.0 is something like flickr, Ajax, Ruby on Rails…
It’s frightening the evolvement of these web things. Sometime I wonder why did I ever choose this tech career cos’ I don’t like changing things so often and I can’t get use to the new environment/stuffs quickly. I’m just a traditional girl, I like simple and slow things but that doesn’t mean I don’t like new stuffs…it’s just that the web is growing too fast and my tube light brain can’t keep up.
