Favicon

Jeff
Just for my own reference really thought I would document how to add a favicon to a site

Creating the icon


Used this as a guide to creating my icon. I used photoshop with the mentioned Plugin from telegraphics

Adding to site


You can either add the new favaicon.ico to the home directory of your website and this will be picked up automatically by the browser.
or
(This is the option I choose) You can add a link to every page header (or the master page) like the following:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
This allows you to add the favicon to a folder such as images along with all your other graphical content.
