T&S SAID WHAT?!
Our thoughts, inspiration and words of wisdom
As Tim stated previously, incorporating a favicon with your site can reinforce branding for your business. At T&S, we wanted to take it a step further by adding an animated favicon. I created ours in Photoshop, saved it as a .gif, and renamed it as favicon.ico. Here is a website that will guide you in the process:

You actually can’t rename the .gif to .ico. You must add the following code to the head section of the html in order for an animated favicon to work: <link rel=’shortcut icon’ href=’favicon.gif’ />. As of now only Firefox supports animated favicons, so be sure to have a backup favicon.
