Could someone explain why the author suggests 4 sizes in the favicon.ico including 24x24 and 64x64? Why not use an ICO with only 16x16 and 32x32 image formats? Thanks in advance.
If there isnt already a website that lets you just upload a large image and then creates all the different sizes for you and provides the code to paste in for you then there needs to be. If it doesnt exist and people here are interested, i'll make it this weekend.

Also, I'd recommend using ConvertICO [2] instead of the X-Icon Editor. It generates much smaller files (4 kb vs. 32 kb).

Yet another article written from a mac-only user point of view. Most desktop monitors are still around 100 dpi, far from "retina" standards.
Sorry about that – the point of the article definitely wasn't to exclude non-Retina users, it was just to document what I was encountering when I came to creating a favicon for the site.
The section about iOS home screen icons has an error. Retina iPad icons are 144 pixels square, not 114. I wrote a blog post [1] that covers that.

As if "the retina age" were an actual thing. How many people have them now?
