CsC needs a favicon

57 posts in this topic

Y'know, that little icon that associates with an URL when you add it to your favorites?

A little chickenhead or smart car would be perfect I think.

Does anyone recall off hand what you have to do to get it to appear?

Sometimes you don't even need to put any HTML code in. Just plop the favicon.ico file in the root directory. :)

I tried that, but Exploder didn't pick it up. I bet Firefox would tho.

should work with IE.... it was a Microsoft gem early on. Seems to me it only works IF someone adds to their favs though.. .then it shows in their favs and in the address bar. If they don't add it, then it also won't show up in the address bar.

yep, that's right.

What wasn't working was just dropping the .ico file into the root index. I had to add the HTML to reference the file before it was picked up when I added it to favs.

*edit*: Steven - you need one as well!

That favicon should have a date and time in it for your convenience. Then everyone can recycle the page frequently for updates.

Here is one that 32x32 which I don't think will work but here it is anyway.

I think it has to be 16x16x16 to work (last 16 is number of colours). The 32x32 could be used by someone that places the link to the club site directly on their desktop though :)

Great... now can you squeeze in "for everyone who loves smart cars" in the center of the chicken head there?

That is exactly what I was going to do, but I don't know how to send a SMACK through these fourms. Maybe we can get some new interactive improvements to these fourms :biglaugh:
