Ok so here it goes..

When you visit my multiply site, you'll notice that my favicon is quite different from the default one provided by multiply. There have been PREVIOUS javascripts that allowed to edit and change that icon but multiply has then disabled that and this can no longer be done.

Ok forgive me for keeping it a secret for sometime, but there are just things that you tend to keep and reserve for yourself only sometimes right?

It's actually one of my kept-secrets here in multiply. I share it to some close contacts only but now (since a similar post has already been posted publicly - on another group) I'm ready to share it (as if I had better choices lol)..




Anyway, enough of the intros, here it is: (You might find this long and confusing, but it's actually easy)

1. Get your own favicon image and host it on your Photos section (any image will do). Remember to use small images since it's a favicon (I personally prefer 16x16 but you may choose a different size). You may use jpeg/jpg, gif, png files.

2.  Take note of the Image Url of your favicon.

    **How to get you Image URL:
              http://makulitrepublic.multiply.com/journal/item/57

3. The actual code for the favicon (Placed in your Site Title) is:

<span style="display:none;">%3Clink%20href%3D%22MODIFIED_IMAGE_URL%22%20rel%3D%22shortcut%20icon%22%20type%3D%22image/x-icon%20/%22%3E</span>

4. See that the Code says "Modified Image URL". This is because the Image URL should be edited first (in Notepad) for it to work.

5. Here's an example of an Modified Image Url:

http%3A//i166.photobucket.com/albums/u83/jnamakulit/Icons/animated_favicon1.gif

*Notice that there's a 'slight' difference on a normal Image URL. %3A replaced what's (supposed to be) ":" see?

<span style="display:none;">%3Clink%20href%3D%22http%3A//i166.photobucket.com/albums/u83/jnamakulit/Icons/animated_favicon1.gif%22%20rel%3D%22shortcut%20icon%22%20type%3D%22image/x-icon%20/%22%3E</span>

6. Edit your Favicon Image Url (Do the same as above) and paste it on your Site Title.

7. Save it and refresh you page. (if you don't see it, try reading back and make sure you have done it correctly).



NOTE: There's a glitch! Save the finished code that you have in notepad. Once you have saved it in the Site Title, you wont be able to see that again. If you want to edit the Site Title, you need to enter the same codes all over.
