The last time I had to make a favourites icon with it being a windows .ico file and me being on a Mac meant an afternoon of trying to find instructions about how to do it & then tracking down oddball plugins for Photoshop to do the task.
Today a 0.13456 Millisecond search on google for ‘How to make Favourites Icon’ yielded HTML Kit. 30 Seconds later I had my new heart shaped Favicon which should now be displaying in your browser if you visit the beta.
It includes an option to make an animated scrolling one just for some late 90’s web throwback feel. I resisted as I think we’ve already gone to far with our under construction animated gif
It’s only a small thing but it keeps underlining how much the Web has shifted in just a few short years from being mostly a resource of hyperlinked documents to being a place of services and applications. A few years ago it gave me instructions on how to make a favourites icon, now it gives me the actual service to accomplish the task, web you’ve come a long way!
