favicon for my site.

[bazz]

Hi,

I would like to create a favicon for my site. I tried a searcxh here but couldnt find anythiong so I ask these two questions.

1. what dimensions should it be
2. Looking at this site I saw this in the source. Is that all I need to do to use it? <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

It should be a traditional Windows icon format icon. The size should be at least one 16 with optional larger size forms (an icon file can contain more than one icon). If you target other browsers than Internet Explorer, BMP, PNG, GIF or even JPEG may be used.

yeh it has to be 16x16 - you can also use .htaccess for displaying the fav icon I heard a while back rather than using the html.

Great so I can make a 16 x 16 image. If it looks OK, then is this html the way (or just one way) to link it to the page.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
