You know the icon next to the address in the address bar in Firefox and IE that pears next to some sites? Chaos-project for example?

how do you define what it is?

It will appear only all subsites. Actually it's enough if you name the file favicon.ico and put it in the folder where your site points to. i.e. chaos-project.com points to my "public_html" folder, I simply put the file there.

so if you put an .ico format icon in your home directory it will automatically add it as a shortcut icon?

favicons are 16x16 pixels. Also, try taking out the forward slash, so it's like this:

<head>
<link href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon">
</head>

If it doesn't work then chances are it didn't save correctly as an .ico, unless you're using a program specifically for making favicons.

The demo release has been pushed back. In the meantime, you can check out my resources thread.
I'm also working on the project site - stay tuned for a launch very soon!

You can make it a png file with 256 colors and rename it to .ico without problems. Maybe your host doesn't support automatic favicons. O_o

It took my host a few days to notice the favicon file, so just give it a few days.

Even with this new temporary host, it was instantly recognized by this host where CP is now on. O_o
IDK, on koreru before it worked instantly as well.
