ldoozer Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 if you create a 16x16 px image in photshop and save it as a favicon.bmp (bitmap) then once its saved change the file extention from favicon.bmp to favicon.ico and upload it to the root of your site its should work.

Danny Beckett Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Of course you will need to add the necessary code to your page. Add this between your <head> and </head> tags once you've completed the stage outlined in the post above me:[code]<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 More clarification on different types of favicons: * ICO: include multiple resolutions (the most commonly used being 16×16 and 32×32, with 64×64 and 128×128 sometimes used by Mac OS X) and bit-depths (most common being 4, 8, 24 bpp—i.e. 16, 256 and 16 million colors) in the file. * GIF: use 16×16 in 256 colors. * PNG: use 16×16 in either 256 colors or 24-bit.(Taken from [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon]Wikipedia[/url]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
