How to create favicon for Joomla
by vk
For web designers especially the ones using Joomla, it is essential to specialize the favicon. When you setup Joomla for the first time, it comes with the default one, however if you like to change it, all you need is a simple but effective code and a 16×16 .ico file.
• First, choose an appropriate favicon for your needs. You can use either paid or free websites to find the one you want. Also there are some online convertors which can convert big images into an .ico file.
• Now we have our .ico. With the help of a ftp client, send the file to your Joomla installization directory.
• The next step is to edit the index.php file. it’s also very simple. Open the file with an text editor. You can even use wordpad or notepad to do that. Just after the tag, insert
link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico”
• Save index.php and again using a ftp client, send it to your server.
Thats all.
