Hi there,

I just wanted to know if it was important for fav icons to be in a .ico format because you can use a png and it seems to work in firefox?

Is it important for it to be in .ico format? Does it have advantages?

Thanks...

Wider support, and favicon.ico is what may applications will look for in the root by default when attempting to get your site's icon.

Does that mean I do not have to link it in the head of the HTML....or should I still link it?

Sorry to bring this up again, so that means it's best to put it in the root directory, yes?

What do you mean by root directory, in the same folder as the index page?

Thanks...
