    Default favicons

    I've used favicons for a few years, but only just realised I can put code in
    the head to point to a favicon. This is handy if you want different favicons
    for different sections of a web site.

    The favicion code, xhtml verified, is ...............

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    With Gods grace, the SSI I set up has made it possible for me to give this
    code to 120 pages in the blink of an eye.

    I often make a shortcut to a web site on my desk top - and the favicon shows
    up if I do so. However, I use a standard 16 by 16 pixel faviicon, so when it
    becomes a desktop icon, it resizes, and looks not perefect. Passable, but could
    do better.

    I remember reading that you could use two favicion, one a 16 by 16 and also a
    32 by 32.

    Why can't we have a nice big favicon, say, 64 by 64? Would it not just resize?

    I realise I could just offer a nice icon to users so they can use it as a
    desktop shortcut, but most people do not want to mess about. I need to find a
    way to deliver a bigger icon, if possible.

    favicon is just a type of image format with extension .ico . you can find
    several free software that can create and save favicons. try
    [url]http://www.favicon.cc/[/url] or google for free favicon creation. usually image must
    be 16 by 16 pixels. once you saved the image just upload it to your root folder
    (in public_html or in www folder). Remember you must save the images as "
    favicon.ico " (it must have a name "favicon.ico" with out the quote). It shows
    up in all browsers except internet explorer 6 and older.

    it is just a code that you put between your meta tags.
    internet explorer needs a small code.
    but firefox does not need a code. you just shall upload icon file with the
    name of "favicon.ico" on the root directory.

    The easy way to to add manual code in the HTML <Head>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    To create the initial Icon file goto to a website like [url]http://www.favicon.co.uk[/url]

    Note somtimes it can take a while to update as easy solution is to clear the
    browser cache if required
    or try to save a bookmark of the page as a test trial.

    I had problems with the favicon - it was shown on /index.html, but not for the
    main URL (I uploaded it to both root directory and images directory). I added
    this code:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico" >
    and everything's working just fine!
