I am currently escaping the heat in Santa Monica. So I headed towards warmer weather in the valley, but, my parents house has insulated walls and a huge A/C unit, not to mention the pool!
But besides the warm weather I was just messing around with my site, and noticed that my favicon had disappeared. I think when I updated the site in April I must have forgot to input the code which looks like this: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/styles/thefrosty/images/favicon.ico" /> and my icon image into the new files and directory.
But no fear, I even did a new design which you can see above blown up, and at the top of the page… Oh, and if you don’t see it, than I suggest that you update your browser to more compliant Firefox, or even IE7. You can even be daring and go IE8 Beta!
You can easily convert a .gif .jpg or .png file into a .ico file as long as it adheres to the bi-cubic 16×16 pixel rule.
You can also head to favicon.cc and use the easy image drawer and export your .ico file.
.gif. Hopefully I’ll get it working today.
Hello there ,
I was using the favicon generator tool you mentioned on your page here: austin.passy.co/2008/favicon/
While favicon.cc does a good job, it doesn’t let you download various sizes for different platforms at the same time.
After some exploring I found this other tool and I wanted to suggest you show it along that one.
https://www.websiteplanet.com/webtools/favicon-generator/this tool allows you to create favicons from pictures that are up to 5 MB from either JPG, PNG or GIF or even from a gallery. It also lets you generate favicons for different screen sizes and resolutions at the same time.
In hope I helped back,
Tiffany
