Website Icon

I just created website icons (never had them, before). I made a few PNG files and an ICO file.

The relevant code is...

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="ae-transparent-080808-256x256.png">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="ae-f8f8f8-080808-16x16.ico">

I'm not sure if .ico is even used when the .png is present.

Another interesting bit of code, that I found, allows you to define a tile for Windows 8. You can pin a page to your Start Screen.

The relevant code is...

<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="ae-transparent-080808-256x256.png">
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#f8f8f8">

Note that I'm using a transparent .png (not necessary, but it seems to fit better with the Windows 8 design).
