the site has a little icon that shows up next to the url in my browser.
whats that about?
how do i do it for myself?
browser icon
Heheheh. Well it automatically gets searched for by the browser. There were tons of error messages about it not existing in the server logs so I thought we might as well make one. It only works if you're able to put a file in the root of your domain. For example, if you can put files in http://www.kaoticfoolz.com, that's fine but if you can only put files in http://www.kaoticfoolz.com/mystuff then that's not fine. You need to call the file favicon.ico and it needs to be in the special ICO format. It should contain a 16x16 and 32x32 image. Both should only have 256 colours. Not really a problem at that size. I'm not sure what you'd use to save in that format. It's actually a Microsoft format but I found an easy Linux tool to convert from PNGs.
Actually I was wrong about it having to be in the root folder. It can be in any folder.
