New Favicon :D

without comments

Brief: I’ve added a favicon to this blog. I’m unsure of whether or not modern versions of IE support specifying favicons the XHTML header way, so I’ll have to check it out some time. All browsers however allow the URL squatting method (which should have gone away before 2000 really). The latter doesn’t allow one to specify icons on a per page basis, rather the entire domain ends up with the same icon.

For any webpage, just add code similar to the below to specify a favicon…

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/edfavicon.png" />

For WordPress, I’ve inserted that line into header.php inside the head tag.
