Adding a Favicon to your site.

Alright, this is pretty simple and easy as HELL. To follow this tutorial, you'll need a website and a .html editor such as Notpad. I use dreamweaver but for this you can just use notepad. Also, you'll need a .Ico file. If you don't have it, Make a Image on Photoshop and make it into a favicon from this site. Then save it. After Login to your FTP. and upload that .ico file on your Index_html folder. If you want to be more organized, you can upload it into a sub folder for example images' folder. Finally, open up Notepad. Then Copy and paste the following code.

Quote:

And now you have to change the code a bit. Just edit the red part. There, you have to put the location of your .ico file. for example it can be something like http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico or http://www.yoursite.com/images/favicon.ico. After editing, save it into a .html file. Or if you just want to put it onto an existing page just copy and paste that code into your <head></head> tags. Hope you learned something.. Good bye. Also, Reputation+ If you learned some thing.

RE: Adding a Favicon to your site.

Great tutorial, but now a lot of site's on the web are XHTML compliant.
And to be that, you have to use.

RE: Adding a Favicon to your site.

Thanks for the tutorial, is there anywhere you can make your .ico or do you just rename a file you want to use ?

You can just use a online PNG to ICO converter. Like http://www.convertico.com/.

RE: Adding a Favicon to your site.

Nice tutorial, I was kind of looking for this.

Do you mean that you have to resize it to 16x16 first, or will it auto resize?

Well you don't need it at 16x16 (but it will take more space if you don't), cause when you set it to something else, it will shrink to 16x16 automatically on the user's computer.

RE: Adding a Favicon to your site.

and modern browsers support png/gif favicons, and it was given the name favicon because msie used to used it for bookmarks, but then made it for titlebars as well.
