Useful tool: syntax highlighter
I've been looking for a while for a tool for showing source code in my blog posts. I found some tricks, but it still wasn't what I'm looking for. I've just found this tool: the SyntaxHighlighter by Alex Gorbatchev.
It's a code syntax highlighter developed in JavaScript. It works great and is also really easy to use for wordpress. There's a plugin for it 
two useful tools for websites
I found some interesting tools today. I already added one to my website, I'll see if I'll ad the other or not.
The first is the wibiya toolbar. The toolbar enables you to easily integrate some services and web applications in your website or blog. It is really easy to use and has lots of features to choose from. Nice idea!
The other is whos.amung.us/. It gives you real-time stats for your website or blog. Awesome!
How to add favicons to your site or wordpress blog
What are favicons? They are the tiny icons that you can see next to a site's title in your browser window. You can also see them when bookmarking a site, next to it's title.
Adding one to your website is really simple! You just have to find an image you like, resize it to 16pixels x 16pixels (the custom size for favicons). Name the image "favicon.ico" and place it in your website's root folder. And you're done!
Adding a favicon to your wordpress blog is a little bit more complicated. You will have to add the icon to your templates main folder (your blog/wp-content/themes/default) and edit the "header.php" file of your current theme. You will have to add this line in the
<head></head>
tags:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
And that's it!
Website monitoring
Just wanted to share a useful site I found, Uptime robot. It's a free service that monitors your site every 5 minutes. It sends you email, twitter or sms updates in case your website is down.
A pretty useful tool if you ask me!
