How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up?
I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site.
Thanks
Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.
You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

I found this on wikipedia, which seems to well describe what you are asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.
There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)
favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
Make a square image and edit it the way that you want. Make sure that you don't add any small details. Next, go to http://www.favicon.cc.com/ . This site will convert your image to a supported .ico format. Rename the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory of your site. You should have a favicon in your browser now.
This icon, is a favicon, and you have to upload a file to your site if you want it. But if you want to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.
My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com
We did this, so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!
The file generated comes with a small explanation on what to do with the files. We will make it better, but it's a start.
Hope it helps!

How to change the Moodle logo which will be displayed at the footer page and change to some other logo? As per the given link 1 I have tried but I could not find the footer.html file in my themes folder.
So please help me with some other method (which does not use local machine because I'm working with a remote machine where I could access only the Moodle site, and nothing more than that) to change the logo and link of Moodle.
This depends on your theme - So you're not going to get a precise answer unless you post more details. But here's the gist:
Every theme is made in parts. Normally, you have a header, a content, a sidebar (or two) and a footer.
You want to be editing the footer file.
The footer file is going to be something within the lines of footer.html or footer.php... Something like that. Again, every theme is different so it could be called something completely different. Sometimes, you just need to dig around.
Please also consider that your footer file may also be contained in a sub-directory in your theme folder. So make sure you have a proper look before deciding to "call off the search".
Anyway, once you've found your footer file (Whatever it's called), you'll want to open it and find the image.
If the image is inserted as a HTML reference of location, you can find it by Ctrl+F and typing in the name of the image file. E.g. "footer.jpeg" or whatever.
If the image is inserted as a PHP relative reference, e.g. "$FooterImage" then don't change that, instead, find out where the variable is pointing to in terms of the file-path, and go and edit that image file via FTP instead. You don't have to keep the PHP variable, but I'd keep it in for code-integrity purposes.
Tip for the future: Please include information like name of theme and Moodle version. It enables us to help you better.
Clean Theme:
Things are a bit different with Clean Theme as it doesn't have a single footer file.
You need to go into all layout files one at a time.
Look for this div:
<footer id="page-footer">
...
</footer>
In this footer, you will find a PHP command that says:
echo $OUTPUT->home_link();
To remove the logo, remove this line.
To replace the logo, you can either:
Replace the "home_link" reference in PHP to point to the new image file.
Or
Remove the PHP line and replace it with
?><img src="link_to_your_image" alt="Logo"><?PHP
Remember, you will need to do this for all layout files.
Have a look at Footer replacement at the official Moodle Documentation. Hope that helps.
Am just beginning with joomla on a site that is already existing and was previously managed by someone else who is not available at the moment. I am trying to troubleshoot a problem why the website is displaying the header differently in different PCs but I am not being able to find the image of that header file. I tried to look for it under "site > media" but cannot find the image among the images in that area. I also tried to look for the path to the image through the template css and found this path ../images/logo.png which I believe must be the path to the header image but I honestly don't really know which path ../images/logo.png is but assuming it is the one under "media" then I still cannot find the image. Could you give me a clue on where the header image files could be found cause I've actually still failed? Or, could you make me understand this path ../images/logo.png or how to find an image on a joomla admin interface like say "logo.png". In fact I discover that on looking at the CSS for the template, the image paths found in it are not found in "Media"? Is there another path for the images in the template and how do I access them? I cannot FTP my host at the moment to view the physical files due to the long procedure needed so am hoping that there is a way to find it. I only have joomla admin access and nothing like Cpanel as yet. The joomla version of the site is 1.5.22 which I know is an old one but I plan to do first things first. Hope I've given enough infor.
Try using FireBug, or Chrome debugger - (press F12) and check "Click an element in the page to inspect" to see where the specific image is located exactly.
I'm developing app using MonoTouch. In debug|simulator everything looks fine, But when i use debug|iphone images are not displaying.
But when i create test app using (Tabbed Application) template, image are displaying fine.
I have set the build action to "Content" for all images. Am i missing something else?
As far as I know, MacOS uses a non-case-sensitive Filesystem and iOS an case-sensitive one. So be sure to have no typos in your filename-references etc
//Just added this as an answer, so you can "accept" it :)
Its probably a permissions issue on the files, right click one of the files in
Finder > Get Info, then under Sharing and Permissions make sure everyone has Read Only. I'm betting its currently set to "No Access".
I've seen this a lot when importing files from a Network location.

Yes someone did it before. I used this kit also and it is great to search pages and highlight the result. It's PDFKitten by KurtCode (on Github).
I want to add a pdf and word format of my resume to my portfolio page and make it downloadable. Does anyone have some simple script?
Add a link to the file and let the browser handle the download.
You may be over-complicating the problem. It's possible to use a href pointing to the location of the .pdf or .doc file, when a user clicks on this in their browser, generally they will be asked if they would like to save or open the file, depending on their OS/configuration.
If this is still confusing, leave a comment and I'll explain anything you don't get.
Create the PDF. Upload it. Add a link.
Save yourself 30 minutes tossing around with PDFGEN code.
You will want to issue or employ the Content-Disposition HTTP header to force the download otherwise some browsers may recognize the common file extensions and try to automatically open the file contents. It will feel more professional if the link actually downloads the file instead of launching an app - important for a resume I think.
Content-Disposition must be generated within the page from the server side as far as I know.
Option:
Upload your resume to Google Docs.
Add a link to the file on your portfolio page just as I do in the menu of my blog:
Use Google Docs Viewer passing to it the URL of the PDF as you can see in this link.
