Easy Favicon for Your Site

I have done it!
Ok, Brad did it! He made me a Favicon for this site.

What is a favicon? Also called a Favorite Icon.

It is that little picture next to the web address in your toolbar, bookmarks, and on the browser tab. It lets people easily identify your site.
Yes, mine is a ‘S’ sat in ivy leaves. Thought it kinda matched my theme. Favicon

You can make one for your site really easily.
I know that some people sell a Favicon maker script. You can do it for free!!

You can use any picture or design your own (in paint, paint.net, photoshop…)
We made our picture in the png format (seemed to work best for us).

Once you have your picture you will need to size it down to 16x16. There is an easy to use Favicon sizer HERE

Upload your tiny picture to the image folder of your site.
Place the code in the

head

section of your blog skin.

link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://yourdomain.com/yourimagefolder/picturename.png"/

You will need the Greater and Lesser sign before and after the code. Sorry but this post will not let me place them or it gets confused. :)

Re-upload your skin with the new piece of code and there you have it!!

Now when someone lands on your page or bookmarks it you have an easy reminder for them as to how much they love your page! ;)

I hope this helps you get your site FavIcon up and going!
Be sure to leave a comment and let us know you have yours on so we can come and see what you have picked.

Have a great day!
