First things first ... what is ultimately a Favicon? The word is formed by the junction of Favorite (favorite) and Icon (Icon) and it is a small image in the format. Ico, about 16 × 16 pixels, which are part of a website for viewing by the browser. This image, in most browsers is shown next to the address bar and also by the name of the website, whenever added to your favorites. Definitions aside, it is unquestionable the importance of the Favicon in the layout of your website or blog as a further element of the image. In the case of All-Gratis.com , is a pink piggy bank, as a symbol of the savings!
Here are five free sites that allow you to create your Favicon, is from a picture or created from scratch:
Favicon Generator - http://www.favicongenerator.com
Dynamic Drive - http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon
FavIcon from Pics - http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon
DeGraeve.com - http://www.degraeve.com/favicon
Favicon.cc - http://www.favicon.cc
It is important that you save the output image format. Ico and named favicon.
After you create the icon that will be the favicon to your website, a few more steps are needed for it to appear in the browser of your visitors. Firstly should upload the image to your server. Usually the images are housed in the images folder, but you can upload it to another location of your choice.
Now we need to insert the following line of code within <head> and </ head>:
= "images/favicon.ico" rel = "shortcut icon" href = "images / favicon.ico" />
If the image was saved to another location on your server different from the images folder, a href tag to point the way to that location, otherwise the favicon will not appear in browser.Ou is, if for example the image was saved in the main its website, the line of code is just:
= "favicon.ico" rel = "shortcut icon" href = "favicon.ico" />
We are waiting for your comment with reference to its website, now with a new Favicon!
