Favicon: Yes or No.

[Jesse]

In fact im planning to a favicon generator site ... i don't know what domain to use whether a co.cc or a .com

favicons are really good for websites.

 

[mender42]

To me they are not only useful in the tabs, but also if you have like a bazillion favorites to sort through. I need them pixalated or not, other wise its like reading a lame RSS feed. :happysad:

How do you insert a favicon ?

How do you insert a favicon ?

You have to find or make an image that you want to use as a favicon. After, you have to sample it to the proper size for a favicon (which is very small), and then make it an ICO file or there are some converters online that will do this for you. After this is done, place the Favicon icon in the root folder of your site (the public_html folder) and the favicon will work when the browser calls it. Also, if you have any sub-domains, you will need to place the same file or a different one into the folder that the sub-domain points to.

I don't really have a choice for the one or the other, a favicon is not going to make a boring site better.

Or put

<link rel="icon" href="faviconname.ico">

In your code

I'd say yes. A favicon allow to add more personality to your site, to add something different from other sites, not only the content or design. With a vacicon bookmarks leading to your site are not "just" bookmarks

 

[DeadBattery]

If they are not pixelated and high quality, then yes!
It helps the site when someone opens tabs. (You'll know if it is your site or not.)

 

[satbir]

Decent sober and distinctive favicon is certainly likable but not otherwise.

 

[ThePaintGuru]

Yes, if your logo is faviconable. It reinforces your website's brand, and isn't all too hard to make. Why not?

 

[Twinkie]

It is the icon for the site. Most likely the first thing people remember about your sites. Although IE makes it almost impossible, every site should have it.

 

[FalseHope]

Yes, every site should have one. They are like, a trademark for the site.

 

[BlueIce]

YES!!! And as every people said, it makes your site unique.

 

[tgkprog]

yes They make it easier to switch from tab to tab. and u dont see those not found errs in log

 

[neverlate2day]

definitely, they serve as an identifier to any website

 

[componentwarehouse]

Cant go wrong if you have 1, so why not. Just dont make it pixelated.

 

[c00ster]

I cant figure out why I cant get mine to work here.

 

[Dan]

Yes definietely! It's the first thing I remember about a site, whether it's got a favicon - don't ask me why though!
I like sites to have favicons because then it is much much easier to scroll through my bookmarks and find a site - without any favicons it would take me a whole day to scroll through all my bookmarks finding the right site.

Oh and Why have 5 people said No to favicons?

 

[Pi606]

Favicons are generally good as long as they're related to what the site is about and are not too pixellated. They're great when I have tons of tabs open.

 

[n3v3rl0v3]

Yes, it looks fine on the tab of your website. Not bad as it usually takes very less pixel area and loads up instantly.
