![]() Even though the plethora of themes to choose from is exciting, it can also be somewhat overwhelming. Although the default theme may look attractive enough (the Twenty Seventeen theme is pretty awesome, especially if you add in a few essential plugins), there are literally thousands of others to choose from to give your website a unique spin. WordPress uses a host of different themes to help site owners structure and present their content. Now it’s time to pick out the specific “look” for your website. You can see more info on Pinned Site Shortcuts at (as a reader of my previous blog post pointed out).You’ve picked out your domain name, selected a great web host to use and have learned how to successfully install WordPress. Moreover it refreshes the page when doing that (which can result in loss of data if you were filling-in something online and hadn’t submitted yet – hope it does at least respect webpages that use closing event handler to warn the user they haven’t saved and allow them to cancel the page closing). This violates the UI design principle of “least surprise” for the user. the action of closing old tab and popping up a new window when you drag-drop the page icon from the address bar onto the desktop. I find the new IE9 RC behaviour non-intuitive, esp. ![]() Prop4=31,The revenge of trickle-down economics | Richard Wolff | Comment is free | .uk Right-clicking the “.website” file and selecting “Send to > Notepad” (assuming you have installed Send To tools or created a Notepad shortcut at your SendTo folder), you see the following contents: Right-clicking the “.url” file and selecting “Send to > Notepad” (assuming you have installed “SendTo tools” or similar utility, or created a shortcut to “Notepad.exe” at your SendTo folder), you see the following contents: That way you can’t edit the URL from the properties dialog, neither can you set a “Shortcut key” for launching the shortcut using the keyboard. Note that the “.url” file’s “Properties” action takes you directly to a tab other than the “General” one, called “ Web Document” (a custom property page) with more info on the URL, a tab that is missing (I’d consider this a bug) from the “.website” file properties dialog. You’ll notice that the “.url” file is called an “Internet Shortcut”, whereas the “.website” one is called a “Pinned Site Shortcut”. website ones), and selecting “Properties”, you get the displays shown below on the left and right sides respectively.

Notice the difference on the address bar? The Back and Forward buttons now have a different color (they get their color from the page icon somehow, maybe calculating the dominant color or something from there) and there’s also the page icon showing up at the start of the address bar (can click on it to go back to this page if you’ve navigated away from it). url one with IE9 RC you get the window at the 1st image shown below, whereas if you open the “.website” one, you get the window at the 2nd image shown below.

Note that the two files have the same “name”, but different file extension (invisible when using default Windows Explorer folder view settings). Can you spot any difference at the following two Internet shortcuts on my desktop?
