Favicon?

Post by pinguino »

This is a pretty insignificant thing I guess, but the site would look a lot better in my Bookmarks list if it had a favicon. (Y'know, the little picture next to the address bar or in your Bookmarks.)
I'm not sure who's in charge of that here. Think raocow could make a 16x16 image that sums up the site?

I have no idea where we put that on the site. I'll ask Captain SiteAdmin

It's just one little bit of code to put in the head of the html file:

Code: Select all

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/myicon.png">
Of course you can also use .gif and .ico files, though only firefox supports .jpeg/.jpg files.

Gya! If you are going to have a favicon, DO NOT link to it on the page. No, if you are going to have one, just put it in the main directory as "favicon.ico" and ALL the pages will automatically have it. It's alot easier to do.

Also, if you have a certain place you want to have another certain icon like "bla.com/lol/" then put another "favicon.ico" in that directory.

I think a mushroom would suffice for raocow's needs.

Something simple like this would work. And people would probably be able to easily recognize it.

The 't' and the 'h' don't look as good right next to each other as they do in the title. But it's more readable this way.

I have been neglectful of my siteadmin shaped duties!

There are not enough hours in the day, yo! And usually by the time I settle in to the internetz I'm either super tired, or distracted by shiny objects...

This will happen though, it is on my list! Same with the spoiler tags

I wasn't trying to rush you (bad choice of alternitive to "bump"), I just wanted to make sure this didn't get buried.
I can totally relate to being distracted by shiny objects.

I'm not trying to sound like an ass, but I'm wondering why this is being treated like a huge task. It takes less than 10 minutes to set up a Favicon.

You're right, but my 'plan' per-say is to shut the entire site down for a few hours one day and do ALOT of modifications all at once, rather than the odd ones here and there. Hence the list! Considering that some are still in development... I am just being patient :)

raocow.com v2.0 will have the goodness that is a favicon on the talkhaus side, among other shiny new things!

Thanks for the level-headed and clear response. Makes sense now, I just want my bookmarks toolbar real estate back.
