Typophile's Favicon/Webicon

Hi, I’m new here. I really love the look and feel of the place but I just think one thing is missing: the webicon. It’s not super difficult to code one in and for me it would make this site feel a bit more complete, especially with the way the page titles don’t start with Typophile- or something. Thoughts?

Not sure what’s up on your browser, but I’m seeing a favicon.

http://typophile.com/favicon.ico

It’s still there:
http://www.typophile.com/favicon.ico

But the URL doesn’t show up in the source code:
link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”” type=”image/x-icon”

Maybe it’s not my browser but this horrible VAIO laptop that cannot read .ico files for god knows what reason. I didn’t see it in the code at a glance so I figured it wasn’t existant. Oh well.

My Safari doesn’t show it either.

Your laptop can’t be blamed, favicons are a browser job. Neither I see it (Firefox and Safari on Mac OS X). Since it doesn’t show up in the source code, it is possible that other typophiles see it only because it’s in their browser’s cache.

I’m not sure if the issue is solved then, being as I can see the webicon quite plainly on the rss feed page.

I used to see it, but haven’t in quite a while.

Just a little source code fix and it should be back.

Speaking of source code…
Wouldn’t it be useful to have permalinks to comments also?

Tom

You actually can permalink to comments, too. But you have to look into the source code to get the id.
Yours is:
id="comment-255360"

Thus, its url would be:
http://www.typophile.com/node/41570#comment-255360

While we’re talking about site tweaks, wouldn’t it be really nice to get rid of all that Flash?

Hello, everyone.

I stumbled upon this site by following a link from Dennis Hill’s Fontplay site. Haven’t had the opportunity to talk to fellow type/font-junkies in ages.

The favicon probably got lost somewhere during the last Drupal upgrade. We shall put it on our long to-do list.

Well it doesn’t show up in Firefox or Safari for me either, but Opera is just fine, and I’m nearly 100% it’s not in that cache.

I guess Opera looks for a “favicon.ico” in the root directory of the website.
But still, the pages should point the browsers to that location:
link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.typophile.com/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon”

It’s an easy fix.

I’ve never seen a favicon in the 1 year and 20 weeks that I’m here.

I’m not seeing it, either, and I, sadly, haven’t visited these here parts in a while.

This is the code I use in the section of my site:
