MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / November 2006favicon.ico
I would like to set up my own icon so that users of my website have it is displayed in their Favourites list. I gather this entails saving an image in "favicon.ico" and uploading to the web site. Can anyone advise - in simple terms, please - how to go about this when using Publisher 2003 and the latest version of Explorer. Thanks and regards, John Townsend You need to make your own icon file, which has to be 16 x 16 pixels and saved as favicon.ico. You then upload it to the root directory, or in other words to the same directory as you upload your index.htm and index_files folder. Here are a couple references: http://www.webdevelopersjournal.com/articles/favicon.html Irfanview is a freebie, and does save as a ico: http://www.irfanview.com/ And read this article: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/articles/80810.aspx DavidF >I would like to set up my own icon so that users of my website have it is >displayed in their Favourites list.

Presumably, one would use the "Publish to Web" box? If so, what parameters would be needed?

Since it is only one file, select it and Copy. Then double click My Network Places > double click your ftp address for your website. Log in, and when you are in, and see your index.htm file and index_files folder, that is your root directory...or folder. Just paste the favicon.ico file into that folder alongside the other files. It will take a little while to upload. DavidF >I think it is FTP. > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >>>>> >>>>> John Thank you, David, I will give it a go.
