icon with address

Make the image you want and save it as an icon file, called favicon.ico. You’ll need to use an image editor that can save things in .ico format.

Then upload it to the top level, i.e. example.com/favicon.ico, not example.com/images/blah/favicon.ico.

Most browsers will actually detect it like that, but to be sure, you can add a link element to the head of your document:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Thanks.

Interestingly, it won’t show in IE6 but it does in Firefox

IE tends not to show them unless the site is added to its Favorites.

ie 6 and below (I dont know about 7) doesnt recognize images as favicons. Its supposed to be a “icon”, hence the name. Firefox will even recognize animated images as favicons.

Hi, Maerk, to the head of WHICH document should one add that code? the CSS? Thanks!

That goes in header.php in your theme.

Anyone know a technique for using 3 different favicons for 3 different blogs on my domain? Right now I think it’s picking up the root directory favicon.ico for all the blogs in sub-folders.

Good tips in this thread, thought someone here might know about my question ??
