Favicon, Make It Unique To You

Posted at 11th November 2008 · Filed in Blogging Tips

I am still using the same theme as the previous. Even the header logo is still the same. For the time being will not make any big change to the theme. Just a little bit here and there.

I have changed the favicon a bit. Main reason is for myself to differentiate which is which when I look at my firefox tab :) as I am still in the process of moving my old post here.

If you are still using the default favicon that came with your theme, or you don’t have one at all, here’s how to create your own favicon:

  • Make a small 16X16 pixel image. Just find something you like from your own photo album, crop and resize it to 16X16
  • Save it as favicon.ico
  • Upload that image to your theme’s image directory (you need some knowledge on ftp and you also need to know your blog’s directory structure for this)
  • Modify your header.php and add the code below between <head> and </head>

<code><link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) ;?>/images/favicon.ico” /></code>

However, ff your theme already have a favicon, just replace it with your image and you don’t need to change the code.

Have fun!

Updated 2009-03-18 – I am currently using a new theme, Whitebeans.

    Hello Faiz, Welcome :)
    bukan semua datang sekali dengan template. kekadang tu kena buat sendiri especially bila template tu ramai yg guna.
