Ran across this freebie today and know how some of you can never get enough icons. Check out this nice collection put forth by Michael A. and download as CSS/FONT FILE or SVG. 420+ icons!
Excerpt from the JAM icons site:
Jam icons is a set of icons designed for web projects, illustrations, print projects, etc. Shipped in both font & svg versions. I aimed to provide a large choice of icons for all projects : filled & outlined icons.
The icons have been made in a 64×64 grid with a 4 pixels stroke basis, all in a consistent way and tested at 18×18, 24×24, 32×32.
Here’s a link to the whole collection you can download in a single zip file: http://jam-icons.com/
Setting up a new add-on domain* for a client today and found that I could not access the new add-on domain name directly. It was appending the new add-on domain name to the root or main site url. So instead of taking the visitor to www.newdomain.com it was taking them to www.maindomain.com/newdomain.com, and of course I didn’t want the visitor to see that horrible URL, but only to see the new add-on domain name.
What was happening is there was an HTTPS redirect for all pages on the main site in the .htaccess file. The .htaccess rule was saying, “ANY page visited on the site, redirect to a hard-coded URL of HTTPS, for that page.”
This is what the rule looked like initially:
rewrite rule for forcing pages to HTTPS version

5
RewriteEngineOn
RewriteCond%{SERVER_PORT}80
RewriteRule^(.*)$https://domain.com/$1 [R,L]
I needed an .htaccess rule that forced HTTPS on the main site, but left the add-on domain alone to do it’s own thing. Here’s the rule that solved the issue:
Force main domain to HTTPS but leave add-on domains alone

# Redirect to https, but only apply to one domain, not to add on domains
For the new .htaccess code replace yourdomain.com on line 7 with your domain. On lines 5 and 6, replace yourdomain\.com while remembering to insert the backslash before the period in your domain name.
Important: If you have existing code in your “.htaccess,” add this above where there are already rules with a similar starting prefix.
* An addon domain is a fully functional domain that can be created from within your control panel. Think of it as having multiple hosting packages all sharing the same control panel. You can create email addresses, forwarders and more — the same way you do for your primary domain on the account.
Due to Unix/Linux/Windows server environments, when you are editing code locally in Dreamweaver you’ll sometimes find your code double-spaced for the whole file.
A quick fix is to run this find/replace command to remove the extra spaces.
Hit CTRL-F or command F to bring up the Find/Replace dialog box.
In the Find box enter “[\r\n]{2,}” (without the quotes).
In the replace box enter “\n” (without the quotes).
Make sure the box for “Use regular expression” is checked and click Replace All.
This may be pertinent for WordPress installs on InMotion web hosting only.
I ran into an image upload error for a new WordPress install where the only message displayed was “HTTP error”. After following the usual actions of checking folder permissions, php memory limits, etc. the solution that worked for me was found in this post from InMotion: How to Fix the HTTP Image Upload Error in WordPress.
Just edit your .htaccess file in the root of your WordPress install (mine was located at /public_html) and add this line to the top of your htaccess file:

SetEnvMAGICK_THREAD_LIMIT1
I saved the changes and the media uploader jumped to life and began working as it should!
Whether you’re looking for one or more vector-based SVG icons for your project, Simple Icons at simpleicons.org does a fantastic job of presenting them to you with a no-nonsense and easy to use interface (single-click to download).
These icons can be used on the web or in any software program capable of working with SVG graphics.
FYI – SVG’s are Scalable Vector Graphics and work the same way a font does. The letter “A” in a font is built using a mathematical formula to outline the shape of the letter. Then a fill can be applied to that shape outline. You can imagine in Microsoft Word having the letter A on the page and making it really tiny in size, or really large in size. No matter the size, the mathematical formula used to draw the outline of the shape is just multiplied by a constant to make it larger (smaller), thereby always rendering the shape with perfectly crisp and sharp graphics. Any SVG or purely vector-based graphic works this way. It’s why a properly designed logo can be 1″ small, or 10′ across and still be razor sharp and clear!
