Making Favicons


A favicon is for example the E that's next to the www.rmb-scripting.com url in your browser. Now, you can change that!

In order to make them, you need a special program that can save .ico images. Luckily, I have that program! I have uploaded it onto my uploading service and here's the link:

https://www.ducktopia.info/betaupload/download.php?id=37693cfc748049e45d87b8c7d8b9aacd

The program is called Icon Art. Download it to begin.

Now that you've downloaded and installed it, open it and set your grid to 16x16 and start drawing your image. Draw whatever icon you want to be next to your url in your browser. When you're done, just save it.

Then, upload it to your webhost and put the following code in the <head> tag of your page:

Code
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">


Edit that code with your details and preview your page, you will see the icon appear next to your URL in browser.

Do you need any help? Reply to this or PM me. Enjoy!
