Top 5 Sites To Host Your Favicon For Free

First of all, What are favicons? A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. You may learn how to make a favicon from here. Many free image hosting sites like photobucket, do not provide hosting for favicon files(.ico files) Getting good hosts to host these favicons is hard. Here is a list of top 4 sites that allows hosting of your favicon.

1.Fileave
My personal favorite. This site needs you to register with them before you can host images on their servers. They provide 50 MB of free storage. Hotlinking is allowed, with data transfer or bandwidth of 1 GB per month. Visit Fileave.

2.ImageBoo
You may upload the file in private or public mode, but I don’t know what it means. Both the methods give the same output! The maximum file size can be upto 2 MB. Visit ImageBoo.

3.PicPanda
Allows images of upto 5 MB to be uploaded at one go. However if you register, the limit goes upto 10 MB. Hotlinking is provided. Visit PicPanda.

4.qfqy.com
Allows you to upload images straight from your PC or from a link of the image, that may be hosted on another server. Maximum file size of a single image is 2 MB. Visit qfqy.com.

5.MyUpload.org
Maximum size of image that may be uploaded is 5 MB. Uploading allowed in public and private mode. Visit MyUpload.org

Make Your Windows XP Talk As You Type

Its been a long time since I have written on Windows XP. So, I just came up with this one, its quite simple. Open a text file in notepad and copy the following code:

Dim msg, stp
msg=InputBox(”Enter your text”,”Talk it”)
Set stp=CreateObject(”sapi.spvoice”)
stp.Speak msg

Give the file .vbs extension, this will create a VBScript File.
Then, once you click on the .vbs file, it would prompt you for a text. Type in the text and click on enter.
