  • what is the the program earf and veiw

  • (uploader) @thestationchop - Good question, and I should have written this down for folks. Irfanview is available for free at irfanview(dot)com

    It runs on Windows. Mac users have iPhoto, and for those who want a more advanced tool that's also free, check out Gimp at gimp(dot)org

    Gimp is very powerful, is free, and available for Mac, Windows and Linux.

  • What is a root directory?

  • The "root" directory is the main, or bottom, directory of a website. Think of the directory structure as if it were a tree, growing from a single root. For example, youtube{dot}com is the root directory for YouTube, and they have subdirectories, such as youtube{dot}com{slash}categori­es.

    YouTube has placed their favicon in their root directory. You can actually see it by pointing your browser to youtube{dot}com{slash}favicon{­dot}ico.
