favicons??

Hi guys,
What do you think about favicons? Do they do any good? Will they make a better impression on users?
I am thinking about adding a favicon to my site but I am not sure about it. Well if it won't make me any good, it won't harm... Or would it?
Thanks

 

i'm a fan also.. i followed these steps in this favicons article to set some up on my own sites.

<disclaimer>i do know the person who wrote the article.. she's very brite =)</disclaimer>

 

Thanks for the link. I d/l'd the photoshop plugin. Too Cool.

 

Yup, great plugin! I just changed the favicon of my main site with it, didn't know it was possible with Photoshop

 

Here's one i use: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

p.s. fryman, why you're morphing with mella's display?

 

he he, I've become a Mella stalker...

 

Favicons make a big difference when it comes to branding your site

 

why make such a big difference?? i've just done it because they are cute xD but what's the important part of them?

 

Favicons are especially nice in a list of bookmarks.

 

If you have a ready image, you can use this tool to create your own favicon...

Favicon makes it easier for your visitors to locate your site if they have bookmarked in the first place

 

Nice! Just used this one for a couple sites.

 

I agree, I have loads of bookmarks and the ones with favicons are the easiest to find

 

favicon is very important to brand your web site, products.
At least, it won't hurt.
See create favicon tutorial

Learn how to create icon is free,but your time is not free. You may consult professionals for this.

 

I am not that much into design! I will guess I will have to see if someone will help me do it!

 

If you have a logo for your site already, you should be able to just crop part of this using something like Paintshop Pro, or Photoshop, then resize it.

I then copy this and paste it into iconedit32

... save it as favicon, and upload it - job done.

Usually only takes around 10mins and is great from a branding point of view. As has been said before, if a visitor has bookmarked a load of similar sites, yours is going to stand out much more.

 

I also use this http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/.
But why Dp forums so popular bcz *It's Favicon so quite and diffrence. I really like it!

*my point of view. Or it's one of reason That forums Different from other forums.

 

I could never get a favicon to work with my phpbb forums.
Is there anything special you have to do to get it to work with phpbb?

 

iconsurf drives extremely minimal traffic to my site (two referals this week) but every hit counts, and it's one more reason to have a favicon for your site (if you still need one).

 

Here's a link that shows you how: http://www.phpbbstyles.com/viewtopic.php?t=8681
