Does anyone know an easy way to create a favicon in CSS? I've been having a hard time, on my old site which was HTML it was so easy!

    Favicon is not added through CSS. It will be done via HTML tags. I guess you know how.

      make image 16x16 or 32x32 or 64x64 then save as png (but .ico is better if you have my PS plugin that allowes you to save as .ico) with name of favicon.
      in header add this line insiode </head> tag
      HTML Code:
      <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/favicon.png">

        hi NWJewelry,

        i do agree with jamesg3.

        you can google search with "favicon generator" or can directly go to http://www.favicon.cc

        you can upload your png file in the website and it will change it to an .ico file.
        HTML Code:
        <link type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.yourdomainname.com/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon">
        hope this helps you to have your proper favicon in your website.

    To make things even easier, once you have an image you want to use as a favicon go to this site: favicon.ico Generator

    and it will generate an .ico file for you.

    Create an 16x16 icon in Photoshop and save it as favicon.png

    Then search in google for favicon converter and convert it to ico then put it to the root directory of your site. All major browser will hook it automatically.

    It's an icon you see on the left in the address bar when you type an URL. Or you see icons next to each item in your bookmarks. Some search engines display them in SERPS.

    for now you can use a php script that will open each html file and for each one it can add the favicon. Pretty simple. better yet you can upgrade the website to use a cms.

    It's more simple than all that. Take the image you want for the favicon, upload it to the root level of your server, and rename it to: favicon.ico
    Thats it!
