Adding a Favicon to your web site
A favicon is the logo / small graphic that is displayed to the left of your URL in the browser address bar. It is not essential to include a favicon in your site, but it is a nice extra (our favicon is the little blue krystal symbol). This icon will also be displayed when your site is bookmarked, helping your site to stand out.
Step 1
Create your favicon in any graphics program. The should be exactly 16 x 16 pixels
Step 2
Save it with with the filename: "favicon.ico"
Step 3
Upload it to your root directory (public_html): http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico
Word of Warning
You may need to refresh your browser cache before your new icon is displayed.
If your browser still refuses to display the icon, add the following code to the header of your web pages:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
