Tutorial: adding a favicon to your website or livejournal

[oxoniensis]

A favicon is a little icon that shows up in the browser address bar, next to your url. They're cute!

You know, I've been wondering about this for months so this is a really useful tutorial

*saves*

Thanks!

What she said. Thank you very much!

I expect to see a little squid next time I visit your journal!

[oxoniensis]

I've been asked about it a few times, so I thought it was about time I actually wrote it all down!

[oxoniensis]

Hee, you lazy bod you!!

BTW, that Jack icon is GORGEOUS!!

[oxoniensis]

And now you're showing off a new Lex icon too! Pretty, pretty!!

Silly thing, I hardly ever think of using my own textures!

[sageness]

Cute!! Thank you for sharing these!

I may replace the one on my website, too. I love my little Athenian coin, but it has nothing to do with anything on the site. :P

Being horribly nosy (and dying to see if the tutorial works okay) I just checked out your journal and bounced when I saw the little favicon there! Yay!

I'd seen a tutorial for favicons before, but it wasn't as clear as this one. Thank you!

When I was first attempting it, I found some basic instructions, but they sort of assumed a fair bit of knowledge, so I spent ages fiddling around trying to get it to work. And I'm sure Dolomir won't mind me saying that she wanted monkey manual type instructions! *g* So I'm glad it's clear!

Just commenting to say, "Yay! Jamie Lidell!" :D

I've had the Multiply album playing this afternoon - it's one of my get-up-and-go albums, for when I want to get stuff done.

If you ever get the chance, you should see him in concert. He's just...completely different than on record. Totally crazy and brilliant and energetic and weird. Totally changes all his music into just a different species from what is on the album.

That's just weird, because only a couple of hours ago I was checking his website to see when he was next performing (today I think it is, but in Chicago, or somewhere equally out of the question for me).

Some performers are just meant to be heard live. Like Julian Cope for example - amazingly good and funny live. OTT, but doesn't take himself seriously, and it just works.
