I've added Font Awesome icons to my site and a little counter to track how many time someone has visited my site. The counter was trickier to implement than I anticipated. The one on the SDF FAQs page didn't work for me. I ended up using a PHP script that writes to a file. At first, it was always showing a count of 1, and it took me a while to realize that I needed to change the permissions on the file to allow the web server to write to it.
The Font Awesome icons were easier to implement. I just had to include the CSS files in the head of my pages and then use the appropriate classes in my HTML. Eventually, am planning on changing the nav menu at the top of the page to a more modern hamberger menu , which is the main reason I installed them.
There are some pretty cool icons included. For example, here are some fun ones for a D&D page I might add:
- Dungeons and Dragons icon: fa-brands fa-d-and-d
- Dungeon enterance: fa-solid fa-dungeon
- Dragon: fa-solid fa-dragon
