Title: Favicon?

I always think it's nice when sites have their own favicons, those little icons that show up when you bookmark a site in Internet Explorer, or if you use Firefox it shows up in the address bar and the tabs. I just made one for my board, and thought it'd be fun to suggest RPG-D make one. ^_^ All you need to do is make a little 16 x 16 pixel image (preferably in .png format for good transparency on the borders), and then use this converter to turn it into the proper .ico format. Once you do that, you can put it in your board wrappers under Javascript, using this:
CODE
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="URL to .ico image" />

Just a thought, I love the favicons :D

I think that's a great idea. I even think we talked about a favicon earlier, maybe in the beginning, but we totally forgot it. The only thing we have to think about is, what kind of favicon do we want? I always like more rounded favicons instead of square ones. Any ideas?

I like round ones too. I always thought that round swishy dinges in your normal banner could maybe be converted, something. ^_^

Sorry for the double post, but it's been quite some time and I've finally found some favicons that might work for RPG-D! :D

Using some icons provided for free at FamFamFam.com, I dug and found two that look like they might fit:

I also went ahead and took the bug thing from the banner and edited it myself, turning it into a favicon. It's not that great, though. user posted image

Feel free to use or not use any of these at your discretion. You can probably upload it to your webspace at rpg-directory-home. *nod*
