Shortcut Icons – NOTABLE ITEMS:

The Icon and Image files listed above, should be stored in the root directory of your website.
More information about Configuring Web Applications for iOS can be found at http://bamajr.us/1u4StSW.
A Favicon Generator for all platforms can be found at http://bamajr.us/1Li1TQa.
Do not confuse inclusion of “Live Tile” code with endorsement of Microsoft products and/or services. I do NOT think favorably about any Microsoft branded product or service (thus the MICROSLOP reference in my Code Snippets).

Shortcut Icons – DISCLAIMER:

Code Snippets are not posted until they have been tested and verified to work. In most cases, the Code Snippets are in use on this website or a client’s websites. However, all Code Snippets come without any warranty of functionality.
