Hello,
I would like to know how to add the icon to my website using WD6 (like the tg graphic for this site). Also, how do I change the names of the pages shown in the browser (currently my home page is called home, when I would like it to be the name of my website). Does it need to be the same as in the layers? Here is my site if it helps... www.luckypawsmn.com
You can change the page title in the web properties box and here is how to add favicons :)
Thank you!!
Glad to help :-)
I think I may be putting the favicon in the wrong place or something because it is not showing up. I have it saved as favicon.ico in the same folder all of my pages are stored. Is it supposed to be where all of the images etc are stored?
It should be stored in the same folder as the index file. It's not always immediate though ;) :)
Yes, sometimes it can take a day or so to show up. Refresh the page in the browser. It also helps to empty the browser cache (usually found in Options).
I also have the same question and made me in trouble, thank you get me out of the trouble and solve the problom successfully!Quote:

So your index page is home.htm? Your first page should be index.htm or index.html
If I change the name to index, will it work?
You can also put this code into a placeholder [e.g a rectangle] <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" /> using Web Properties/replace with html code. Using the yellow icon on the info bar name this placeholder <head> and put it in the paste board area [the grey area]
It does work for me :D
You have uploaded the favicon image to the server haven't you?
Hmm, well I am glad it is working for you. How does it look? :)
By upload to the server you just mean through publishing my website through my host right? If so, then yes. Sorry I am a newbie...
Well, you did ask :) How does it look? Here's an example on a site I made for my friend Scamble :) For this one I used the code <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="favicon.ico"> but apparently modern browsers utilise the favicon.ico without any code.
Yes, the .ico should be uploaded to the main folder of your domain, where you have your index file.
OK. After a bit of research, you can do it this way
1] Create a placeholder [e.g. a small rectangle], open Web Properties and in 'link to file' browse to your favicon.ico and click apply - this imports the actual file and saves it into the index_htm_files folder
[2] Create another placeholder, name it <head> and in Web Properties/replace with html code add:- <link rel="shortcut icon" href="index_htm_files/favicon.ico" />
Put the placeholders on the pasteboard and re-publish your site
:)
PS To name the placeholder, click on the yellow icon ...
