Favicons & 404'2

cd34 · 2005-11-07, 08:25 PM

Many browsers that hit a link will load the favicon.ico file to appear in the URL bar. Additionally, some browsers (namely firefox) will store that next to the site title when you bookmark it.

If you are doing a general 404 redirect, then, you might want to put even a generic favicon.ico file there.
