Funny how the cross-browser Favicon works (johnmclaughlin.info)

This is a solution for one of those extremely small details regarding your website: the favicon. Favicons are those semi-forgettable images that are actually a nice finishing touch on any website. But, do it wrong, it’ll end up a mess in your server logs or just plain won’t work everyone visiting your site. I recently realized how pesky this lil’ file can be while walking a buddy through getting one setup on his site when I realized that I forgot some small but important details how to make one that works and doesn’t cause problems.
