1) Just seen in source code of a site the following in the <head> area ... <base href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com"/> Is it worth adding? Whats it for? Does it give anything extra to spiders/bots for seo? 2) Icon's - like used on dp forums ... (see to the left of the url in the above address bar) whats the point of them? is it just to make it look a better site? easy to remember? Does it add anything to seo? Anyone know of a tool to create a .ico file? Thanks in advance.
1. well i think its just an URL... 2. well u can drag that icon to lower portion of the address bar like a toolbar or maybe bookmark.. i used that for bookmarking purposes..
<base href="http://test.com"> Means <a href="dir/"> will point to http://test.com/dir I prefer not to have any base tag
I dont know what base tags are, But i believe by icons you mean the Favicon. That is to help people remember the website easier. For example I use Firefox and have all my favorite links on the toolbar. But I dont have any text beside any of them because they all have favicons and i know them by their pictures... Cheers, Nima
Here is a great tool for generating FavIco i used this tool for all my sites. http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ Enjoy it
sourcer - your tool for making icons ... can you tell me how i can make the background transparent? I have it transparent in photoshot I save it to gif and upload into the tool but when it outputs it has a white background?
