I wanted to set the logo for the site that comes up by the site name in browsers.
The first thing to do is create your logo. It needs to fit in a 16 x 16 pixel box, which is pretty damn small. I started by creating a 160 x 160 pixel .png
file in Adobe Fireworks.
Then I found a great website that converts the .png
file into the files you need, pops then in a .zip
archive with instructions for how to use them. It gives you a static version and an animated one. I renamed one of these and put in the site's root directory.
Instead of putting the code line:
< link rel="shortcut icon" href="/rwaicon1.ico" >
into every page on the site I decided to make a .inc
file called sitewideheadcode.inc
and I put the code in there. Then I put a php include
to load sitewideheadcode.inc
at the end of all the head sections in the code on each page.
So now i can easilly add code to the end of every head section on the site and my logo works. If I need to change the logo it's just one edit.
