Just a bit of fun
Ever wondered why some website addresses have an image displayed before the http ?
It's called a favicon 1 Create an image 16px x 16px 2 Save as jpeg 3 convert to favicon file using this webpage here 4 load file into root diectory of website - where all your pages are stored - you don't have to edit page code even though it says to. 5 Job done Just put it on mine here - I suppose it can help brand awareness ![]() |

Thanks for that in principle Simon, but yours doesn't seem to have worked

Re: Just a bit of fun
LOL I might wonder if this was another thing that only works with Firefox
except I have loads of websites in my Favorites which are displaying favicons, but I can't see yours Simon, it just has that little blue "e" in front of it ![]() |

Re: Just a bit of fun
I'm on IE7 so maybe it'll work for me tomorrow
![]() The little blue "e" is the favicon IE shows when there's no personalised favicon. |
