FavIcon

    Can I utilize the standard Favicon links such as

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.informunet.com/test/buttons/webtest/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <link rel="icon" href="http://www.informunet.com/test/buttons/webtest/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    I have seen other posts about using an *.ico file however I believe this probably slows down the page render time. According to Yahoo Yslow :

    A favicon is an icon associated with a web page; this icon resides in the favicon.ico file in the server's root. Since the browser requests this file, it needs to be present; if it is missing, the browser returns a 404 error (see "Avoid HTTP 404 (Not Found) error" above). Since favicon.ico resides in the server's root, each time the browser requests this file, the cookies for the server's root are sent. Making the favicon small and reducing the cookie size for the server's root cookies improves performance for retrieving the favicon. Making favicon.ico cacheable avoids frequent requests for it

    Yes, you can use that link, try to edit "view-functions.php" file and search on line 1830 and 2362 for this code:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$css_dir}view.css" media="all" />

    then put your favicon link bellow that line

    How do you add Favicons with version 3.3? I could not find this <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$css_dir}view.css" media="all" /> in the view functions php
