My favicon is now in place
[ADDENDUM 6 PM: I’m seeing the small green apple icon on my cellphone and on my computer in the heading above the URL line when I’m actually at the blog site. But it’s not in my computer bookmarks. In bookmarks at Firefox, I see a little grid like a tic-tac-toe board instead of the image of the green apple. What do you see?]
I didn’t even know what a “favicon” was until I realized I looked up something like “how to set little image for your WordPress site.” FAVICON, folks!
And I think I accomplished it. I just made a thenewneo setting on my cell phone home page, and it had a nice little green apple in the middle of the shortcut image.
This is what it takes—it may not seem like much to you, but to the somewhat-tech-challenged like me it’s a big accomplishment. First you have to find a nice image that is free and that allows commercial use. Not so easy. Of course, if I had to pay for it I would, but why not find a free one? Then it turns out that, even though the image I selected was shown against a transparent background, when I downloaded it I saw a black background instead.
So I had to change that to transparent. That took a while—I’ll mercifully spare you the details—but I think it’s done. Let me know if you’re not seeing it properly.
Sorry for all this inside-baseball stuff.
What favicon? Not appearing on my android 4.4.2 tablet. But neither is mine…
I have a bright green apple in my bookmarks. I got here through an RSS feed so it isn’t the old bookmark I am seeing. Success!!
I’m seeing the old photo, I think. It has the dark hair… no silver.
I see nice green apple (God didn’t make, little green apples…??), and your (old?) picture with no silver / gray hair.
Mine’s been gray since before 9/11…
