How To Create A FavIcon For Your Site


I love FavIcons, as to free up space on my bookmarks toolbar in Firefox I tend to just use FavIcons rather than the full site name.

I’ve finally got around to making my own by using this cool tool that can make a FavIcon from any picture in 5 seconds. Once you’ve done that all you have to do is load your files up to your server and add one line of code to your header file. On the site it says to add:


< link href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />

But I had to add the following to get it to work on all page:

< link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />

Simple!

    Remember that when you use /favicon.ico it assumes that favicon.ico is in the domain root.

    I use Dynamic Drive’s Favicon Generator.
