I think icons are 5% of the importance of logo. The logo is 15% of a website’s first impression, which makes 20% of it’s future 6 months business. So I started designing a logo and icon that would fit t the theme and also be original, as originality pays of like original content in a post. First quest was to find how to implement it in wordpress, so as I found it … I’ll share the method:
1) the icon should be 16px/16px
-it can’t be visualized by PhotoShop (google for special icon programs)
-you can save it in PhotoShop as favicon.png (or any other extension ) and the rename extension in your FTP as favicon.ico
2) upload the icon into the theme folder and in the blog main folder (ie. http://example.com/favicon.ico).
& (ie. http://example.com/content/themes/supertheme/favicon.ico).
3) go to admin panel and choose (for wordpress 2.7) appearance/edit/header.php
4) find : <link rel="shortcut icon" and ends with /favicon.ico" />
-if have not found -> just insert the following :
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
5) Save Changes .
That’s all. Thanks for reading.
