Hi, People were bothering me about favicon.ico again today, so let's do some analysis. To get favicon.ico displayed, we need to add more stuff to the headers. Current headers include:
<html lang="en"> ... <link rev="made" href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <meta name="Description" content="Debian GNU/Linux is a free distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system. It is maintained and updated through the work of many users who volunteer their time and effort."> <meta name="Keywords" content="debian, GNU, linux, unix, open source, free, DFSG"> <meta name="Language" content="English"> <meta name="Author" content="Debian Webmaster, [EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <meta name="Generator" content="WML 2.0.8 (30-Oct-2001)"> <meta name="Modified" content="2002-12-10 00:54:15"> ... Last Modified: Thu, Jan 30 12:56:14 UTC 2003 ... If we have lang=en, why do we need Language meta tag? If we have rev=made link tag, why do we need the Author meta tag? If we have the modification stuff in the footer, why do we need the Modified meta tag? If we know the wml version on www-master, and the date on the file, why do we need the Generator meta tag? If we have Google, why do we need the Keywords and Description meta tags which ignores them? :) Or, OTOH, should we ignore the extra overhead and just keep on stuffing more tags in there as people want them? -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
