A FavIcon is the icon that you will see display next to your URL address if it has been set up for that particular web site. It is a 16x16 or 32x32 and ony 2 or 16 colours, saved as a 'ico' file.
After you've created a neat favicon, it's time to add it to your site. To do so, follow the below simple procedure:
| 1. | Upload the generated file ("favicon.ico") to
your site. Verify it's there by typing: http://mysite.com/favicon.ico in the browser's location, where "mysite.com" is your site's address. |
| 2. | Next, insert the below code in the HEAD
section of your pages, at the very least, your site's main
index page: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> |
| 3. | That's it! Note that your favicon may not appear immediately after you've completed the above two steps. In fact, it may take a few days, and in IE, sometimes the favicon will disappear from time to time due to a browser bug. |
