ancillary questions: Favicon In Konnas Blog Seminar dive during the discussions over matters that do not directly related to the topic have concerns or perhaps only specific situations. I would like in this category "side issues" to these questions and try to answer them in detail.
The first part of the service provided Konna seitwert.de before. There websites are evaluated on multiple page features various statistical data and other services. In one of these reviews a flowing, whether a so-called favicon is present or not.
A favicon is usually a small 16 x 16 pixel graphic that represents as a symbol of the page. The graph is used by browsers, bookmark services, feed readers and other software as an icon for the associated website. Typical example, the indicator next to the web address the page in the browser or in the favorite / bookmark list.
There are two ways to display such a favicon.
Method 1 - favicon.ico file start with you need a graphics course, want to use it. This should be 16 x 16 pixels. The file must be saved favicon.ico be named, and also in. ico format. If you file as a. Gif,. Jpg,. Png or other graphic formats, do you have to convert the file first. When looking for programs that you can, will help Google further
.
This file should now be in the root directory of the Web page. Subfolders can own favicon.ico files.
This is the most compatible method to process all of the services and software favicons, is recognized and supported. By some services, seitwert.de wie4 example, it is also the only method supported.
simple as the method is so rigid it is. The file must always have the name favicon.ico and Windows, are available. Ico format. For subdirectories, these directories exist actually, but at a URL to a blog post is not the case. Is, there is no folder with the date, or the category name. So you can use the method of a blog category or a specific month or date, not just its own Create favicon. In
blogging services like blogspot, wordpress.com or, or, or, you have to copy in any case, the possibility of any files in any specific folder.
In these cases, is the original method with the favicon.ico file that is flat.
Method 2 - HTML \u0026lt;link ... /> Tag The second option can be used almost always. It is implemented with a line of HTML code.
\u0026lt;link href='http://webpfad.zur/grafik/*dateiname*' rel='icon' type='image/*format*' />
The above code must be in the head area of the website code stand. The best way twice! Once unmmitelbar after
\u0026lt;head> , and once just before
\u0026lt;/ head> .
This is important to make the largest possible browser compatibility. The IE favicon used basically the first in the HTML text said. All other browsers the latter. On Blogspot, it is therefore important to ensure that its own favicon, the first and the latter is. For interspersed between the Blogspot Sytsem also a favicon, and we want to suppress. ;)
this one must know the Web address of the graphic. So you have to upload the video somewhere. In most blogging services you have any way of storing images and access. Or you can use an image hoster like
http://image.gd etc.
is interesting in the way that file name and format can be chosen freely. Transparent. Png or animated. Gif so no problem anymore. However, these formats are not supported by all browsers are equal. Animated. Png can only example of Firefox. Clearly, for "Who invented it?" ;)
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. With a simple favicon.ico this was done the matter quickly and achieves maximum compatibility. Unfortunately, the method is not flexible and not feasible for everyone.
HTML tag that can be put into any blog system by is the template for the HTML head section edited. Although you can select file name and format-free, one must consider limitations and features of different browsers.
