Little Firefox Icon
« on: July 25, 2007, 04:32:56 PM »
Hey, I was wondering, would it be possible for this website to have a little Firefox icon for the bookmarks, similar to Taiganet and TWCClassics (and other sites)?

I'm sure we can, but since we don't have one made someone's going to have to make one if we were to have one.

BTW, it's technically not called a "Firefox icon". It's called a Favicon, and appears in your URL bar and next to the website in your Favorites list or favorites toolbar. They appear in any browser (including Firefox). ;)

Just take the TWC gif logo, convert it to a ICO, then name it favicon, then go the favicon site and it will give you steps on how to place the logo in the url.

Just the TWC logo?  Isn't there anything a little more...original? :unsure:

Yeah, I want this site to have its own identity. You don't think Matt would settle for using the TWC logo as his site's favicon, do you? And it may be illegal to boot. TWC uses its logo as its favicon, so it may be illegal for another site to do the same.

I edited Billy's, by changing the blue background to a darker blue. Does this look better?
