I've marked the favicons in red.
Now I'm going to show you how to make a favicon. For me, I know two good ways on how to make one.
First off, you can make a favicon at this
Website. You have to color it in yourself and get the URL for it.
Thesecond way involves Photoshop. First off, favicons are saved as .icofiles and most web browsers support .ico anyways. The size of thefavicon has to be 16 X 16 and you can make it in Photoshop.
To make a favicon in PS, you need to download the .ico file format from
this site.
To install the file, extract the .8bi file and place it in...
Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop version whatever > Plug-ins > File Formats.
Once you have done that, start up photoshop and you'll be able to save as .ico file.
Now to make the favicon, the image size needs to be 16 X 16.
This is an example of my forum's favicon.
Make it however you want and save the image as favicon.ico
Now that we have the favicon saved, we need to upload it. I recommend
Ripway For hosting your favicon.
Now we need to place the favicon on our site. It's easy, trust me!
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="www.mysite.com/favicon.ico">
Replace www.mysite.com/favicon.ico with the URL of the favicon.
Once you have done that, log into your admin CP and go to SEO Config under basic Config Tab .Put the code in
Other Head.
Press Submit and you are done.
