Justin White is one of my oldest friends, though we didn’t become close until high school. We started a lawn and landscape company together at the end of our Cascade Christian high school careers that was a fun learning experience.
I think that Justin White is one of the more interesting people that I know; Justin is sort of like Job in the Bible.… read more “Justin White”
Favicons are the cool little symbols that are right to the left of your title in the browser bar. 
Favicons are also used in the bookmarks section of your web browser (see left side image). For example, the black circle with a white U to the left of the Underdog Sports Leagues name is a favicon.… read more “How to put a Favicon in WordPress Blog”
