This Weeks Useful Tool for Computer Users – Favicon from Pics
I come across quite a few programs, applications and features almost every day in the course of normal work-a-day research trying to find the right tools to use in the Computer Consulting Business.
As a result, I often find some little known Free Downloadable or Online Features that could be of use to almost anyone to make their computing experience a little bit better and more productive.
This is just such a find…
Ever wonder why some websites and blogs have their cute little Logo showing in your toolbar and others don’t?
Favicon from Pics
Its Free and easy to create your own Favicon.
- Go to Favicon from Pics
- Upload your image & create Favicon
- Download .ico file to your computer
- Upload it to the “root” file of your site
- Navigate to your index.html file & insert
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"> between <head> and </head>You should now have your Favicon set and ready to go. (It should also show in your Favorites bar on Windows).
Sorry, this won’t work on Blogger.com or WordPress.com because you don’t have access to the “root” folder (it’s THEIR domain).
I hope you find this tool to be something useful in your daily computing experience.
