Adding A Custom FavIcon

If you are using a modern browser, you should notice the icon of the site has changed to a dollar sign. The icon can be found up in the address bar of your browser.

This is a straightforward change that require no code change to work with Simple PHP Blog. I found a nice free image that fit my topic, and then edited it with my favorite image editing tool, The Gimp. After editing the image to my heart's content, I then resized the image to 32x32 in size, and then saved it as a Windows .ico file.

After that was complete, I then saved it on the website as /interface/favicon.ico, overwriting the file that was already there.

In order to actually see the icon after uploading the file, I needed to clean up all of my cached data in my web browser. Once that was done, I restarted my browser, and headed to the blog. At that point, I could see that the new icon was now in place.

If you still cannot see the dollar sign icon, you probably need to do what I did, empty your browser's cache, and then reload your browser, and the page.
