If you want a dead simple favicon maker (from a jpg, gif, or png – I recommend a transparent 24 bit png), you might want to checkout:

faviconr.com

Bonus: easy to remember and type in.

I use blogger. Is there a way to make favicon work with that?

Someone asked this, and no answer, so I ask again, maybe someone will reply.

Carolyn,

Your favicon is showing up when I goto your site. I tried putting mine in the subfolder first and it didn’t work for Typepad so it’s in the main directory. I like the navbar idea, I haven’t tackled that yet!

Hi, David,

I thought of that but assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the favicon would work fine in the blog’s subfolder as long as I specified the path to the favicon: http://www.carolynbahm.com/famblog/images/favicon.ico

I did that but it still doesn’t work, darn it. I’m such a raw newbie at this; I’ve probably implemented this incorrectly, but I’m willing to learn. Do you (or any others reading this comment) have any suggestions?

Thx – Carolyn Bahm

(The navbar is also still under construction on that page too, but ignore that!)

I use TypePad and I was able to use my favicon. The only problem I see is that it has to be in the main folder, not the individual sub folder for that particular blog. As I expand my network of blogs, I may have to use the same favicon for each but I haven’t gotten that far yet.

I’m so bummed out. I use blogger. Is there a way to make favicon work with that?

Hey Darren,

That’s a cool little thing. It worked well on my WP after I changed the .ico to .jpg, but a word for those that use Blogger or any other hosted blogging platform, I won’t work.

Hey Darren
after playing around with this I found out that you do not need to switch your graphics over to the ico format. For web use you only need to change the file format name to ico from jpg or gif.I did it on http://blog.jakerinard.com and also sent you a trackback on the previous post at http://blogtopper.com.

[...] I’ve been playing around with the favicon for Bright Meadow lately (after Moose commented that most sites seemed to have one these days, I figured it was time to get down and dirty with photoshop), but as I absolutely suck at design and creating new things, I’ve had to fall back on a slightly wonky flower which is a hold over from ten site designs ago. It’s harder than it looks to create something recognisable in only 16×16 pixels! Anyway, hopefully this little tool found by Darren will make things a bit easier. [...]

I like to just do it the normal way. Design the tile in a 16×16 space and then save it as a gif file with an *.ico extension.
