This is instruction on what Icon fonts are and how to use them.
What are Icon fonts?
Icon fonts are just fonts that we use every day in our digital world. However, instead of containing letters or numbers, they contain symbols and glyphs. You can style them with CSS in the same way you style regular text which has made them a popular choice on the internet.
Pros and Cons of Icon Fonts
Pros
• There are many benefits to using icon fonts instead of bitmap images in your projects. Here are some of those:
• Because they are vector graphics, they’re scalable. This means you can scale them up or down without losing their quality, so they always look clean.
• You send one single or few HTTP request(s) to load them instead of multiple HTTP requests that bitmap images might require. This means a faster load time on pages.
• They load fast because of their small size.
• They’re supported in all browsers (even back to IE6).
• You can apply any CSS effects to them if you do backend HTML
Cons
• They don’t work well for an international audience, because of the variety of devices.
• Some screen readers have a difficult time with icons and may read them as a letter
• Many older browsers do not know who to handle them and they show up as blanks or question marks.
• WordPress will often hide them in the “visual” edit area when writing a post.
Font Awesome Icons
Are very popular. To use the Font Awesome icons, add the following line inside the <head> section of your HTML page:
HTML: Links: Style Target: This is instruction on how to put links into an HTML page that can target other parts of your page or new window.
Link to a web page:
<a href=”url“>link text</a>
A valid browsing context name is any string with at least one character that does not start with a U+005F LOW LINE character. (Names starting with an underscore are reserved for special keywords.)
A valid browsing context name or keyword is any string that is either a valid browsing context name or that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for one of: _blank, _self, _parent, or _top.” – Source
That means that there is no such keyword as _new in HTML5, and not in HTML4 (and consequently XHTML) either. Meaning, that there will be no consistent behavior if you use this as a value for the target attribute.
Examples:
The target attribute specifies where to open the linked page or document:
Display the response received in a new window or tab:
<form action=”/action_page.php” method=”get” target=”_blank”>
First name: <input type=”text” name=”fname”><br>
Last name: <input type=”text” name=”lname”><br>
<input type=”submit” value=”Submit”>
</form>
Values of the target Attribute
Value Name

_blank

The Anchor Element (Bookmark)
Anchors point to a place within a page.
The anchor element tag is the letter “a” surrounded by angle brackets like this: <a>. Both the opening and closing attributes are required, and all of the content between the tags makes up the anchor source.
A# in front of a link location specifies that the link is pointing to an anchor on a page. (Anchor meaning a specific place in the middle of your page).
To link to an anchor you need to:
Create a link pointing to the anchor
Create the anchor itself.
An anchor is created using the <a> tag.
If you want to create an anchor called part3, you simply add this line where you want the anchor to be:
<a name=”part_3″></a>
After doing this, you can make a link pointing to the anchor using the normal <a href> tag, like this:
Click <a href=”#part_3“>here</a> to read chapter 4.
Note:
When linking to an anchor on a page you need to put a # in front of the anchor.
When you link to an anchor on the same page, simply enter
<a href=”#YourCoolAnchor“>bla bla</a>
When you link to anchors on external pages use this syntax:
Anchors are generally used when you create pages with considerable amounts of text. You would typically make an index at the top of the page linking to the anchors that have been added to key places in the text that follows.
HTML Links – Create a Bookmark
HTML bookmarks are used to allow readers to jump to specific parts of a Web page.
Bookmarks can be useful if your webpage is very long.
To make a bookmark, you must first create the bookmark, and then add a link to it.
When the link is clicked, the page will scroll to the location with the bookmark.
Example
First, create a bookmark with the id attribute:
<h2 id=”P3″>Part 3</h2>
Then, add a link to the bookmark (“Jump to Chapter 4”), from within the same page:
<a href=”#P3″>Jump Over to Part 3</a>
Or, add a link to the bookmark (“Jump to Part 3”), from another page:

WooCommerce Shortcode to paste into your WordPress Page/Post
WooCommerce comes with a number of useful shortcodes to allow quick insertion of WooCommerce related content within posts and pages. One of these shortcodes can be used to display featured products like so:
[featured_products per_page="12" columns="4"]
The above would output the featured products in a grid (table).
These are instructions on how to stop getting an error with WordPress, a large theme, and the plugin WooCommerce.
It may look like a plugin error, and it might be, but it could be a memory issue.
You have nothing to lose by increasing the memory of your configuration (wp-config.php).
This may have happened to you of a large Theme.

You may have seen this:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
The application (plugin and/or theme) may need more memory than PHP is allowing to give it. Thus, you may be experiencing this error/issue. The default PHP memory limit is 64MB. However, you can increase memory_limit for your account using php.ini at https://www.dotster.com/controlpanel/cgiManagement/PHPplus.bml. Search for memory_limit and set the value and click ‘Save’.
Please note that 128 MB is the maximum memory_limit which Dotster will set for an account that is hosted on a shared hosting platform.
If you have any further questions, please chat with dotster and have them set up a ticket at https://www.dotster.com/chat/. They can make the change for you.
Do It Yourself
Be aware that this section requires advanced knowledge of FPT and coding; it is not basic.
Edit your wp-config.php file by using FTP application
Open – wp-config.php, then add memory by Adding this to the very bottom, right before the line that says, “Happy Blogging”:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
or add it in the middle of this
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
/**#@+
* Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

Jewish saying
Luxury Vinyl Tile is a luxury vinyl product that has a surface appearance of stone, ceramic tile, wood, or fabric. Luxury Vinyl Tile is often called LVT. It has natural colors and surface texture that can match its appearance. Most manufacturers of LVT are made to be installed without grout and can be easily installed without a professional (DIY).
Luxury Vinyl Tile has surface images that often include nontraditional tile, and do not reflect realism. For example, they may have marbles or fish, they may have a pattern very similar to wallpaper or a mural.
Features & Benefits of Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring
Below are some of the key features and benefits of luxury vinyl tile
Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring Features
Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring Benefits
Incredibly realistic photo replication
of natural materials (photogravure process)
The look and feel of nature’s best materials at a lower cost are a reality of Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring manufacturing
100% vinyl material
Vinyl flooring satisfies Green building standards and earns LEED points in commercial applications.
Made of recycled material & can be recycled
Tiles have a range from 98.5% to 53% recycled material, depending on the color. Black has the most.
Inherent safety features
Meets requirements of commercial flammability codes, slip-resistant requirements…and a menu of other safety codes
Ease of maintenance
Simple damp mopping is the recommended cleaning procedure for LVT floors
Excellent selection of sizes, shapes
The size options vary by manufacturer, but many styles are available in 12 x 12”, 18 x 18”, 12 x 24” sizes, and planks in standard (3 x 36” 4.5 x 36) and extra-large widths (7 or 9’ widths).
Naturally water resistant
LVT floors are inherently water resistant (and fairly impervious to wet spills from above). It’s important to install over flat, dry, approved substrates so that no water seepage occurs beneath the floor.
Scratch, stain, dent and scuff resistant
Specialized wear layers (most common are 20 mil ; some offer up to a 40 mil layer). Then the floors are coated with urethane to enhance durability
Cost effective
Economics factor favorably into the specification of Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring for both commercial and residential applications, giving the look and feel of rich, natural materials at a lower cost
Exceptional durability
Since most luxury vinyl tile flooring is also constructed to withstand commercial wear and tear, it’s ideal for residential high-traffic areas as well as other areas of the home. Warranties vary by manufacturer, but it’s not unusual to see 20-25 year warranties on brand-name luxury vinyl tile flooring.
More resilient than other hard surface floors
Because there are multi-layers of vinyl in luxury vinyl tile flooring as well as a resilient backing as the foundation, LVT tiles and planks have more resilience underfoot. It’s easier to stand on for long periods of time AND as an added benefit, it tends to be warmer underfoot than ceramic.
Amazing aesthetics
There has been a stunning transformation in the design aesthetics of Luxury vinyl tile flooring in the last seven years. If you are linking it to “industrial” looking floors, this is where you need to throw away your misconceptions and do some research. This may be the one biggest factor that has caused interior designers to stand up and take note of the new brand of LVT. The realism of the total look, INCLUDING distressed wood finishes, stone and slate tactile surface textures, and even woven textiles embedded in the wear layers, are grabbing attention.

Prepare for Installation
At least 24 hours prior to installation, place the new luxury vinyl tile flooring in the room you plan to install so the tile can acclimate to the room. During installation, mix vinyl tile from different boxes to blend the dye lots and patterns for a more uniform appearance.
You may install vinyl over vinyl if the existing floor is one layer thick, but you may want to remove baseboards first. Never sand old vinyl flooring made before 1975 – it may contain fiberglass or asbestos.
Prep your sub floor so that it is clean, dry and level. Use a self-leveler on low spots and/or sand high spots of wood or concrete. If you have a hole larger than a one and a half inch, the hole must be filled.
