  • At the office building shortcut lists in SharePoint. #
  • Anybody know of any best practices for voiceovers or narration within eLearning? #
  • I got a bunch of spam Twitter followers today. How do they make money following again? What is their WIIFM? #
  • Over 100 trees came down in that storm 2 days ago in New York’s Central Park. See the photos http://bit.ly/DReqN #
  • Got some good narration suggestions from before, and will process them tonight. More eLearning to build this evening. #

Create Icon .ico Files

icofxWe decided that we are going to publish the eLearning modules I have been building as .exe files, so thought it would be nice to have the organzational logo as the icon by the file name. I always thought this happened by taking an image and giving it an .ico extension. Not!

Instead, I had to use an icon generation program, IcoFX (which is free, btw). I never knew that Adobe Captivate 4 only read icon files that are single files with 10 bundled-sized smaller images in them–that is what an icon or .ico file really is!

I have a lot of research I really need to attend to . . .
