You know in the address bar, where there's your site url, and then you can put an icon next to it, right now it's just the default little world icon for websites that don't have icons, and I'd like to make one, could you tell me how?

By the way I use Freewebs layout design and .co.nr hosting.

Thanks for the help,

Zach =D

  1. Put the following inside <HEAD> tag:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="myimage.png" type="image/png" />

    Search for `favicon page' or `favicon html' for more information.


  2. Google this keyword : "favicon"

  3. That little icon is called a favicon.

    Make an image you'd like to use as your favicon, about 20x20 pixels, and save it as a .png file.

    Put this code after your <title> tag:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="IMAGENAME.png">

    That should do it. =)


  4. Do what the first person to put it on your website said but to create the image in the first place I find this site very helpful

    http://www.favicon.cc/

    Good luck!
