Favicon

A favicon is the small icon displayed in IE next to the URL in the address bar.

 

   To use one of my icons as your favicon, simply

  1. download the icon,

  2.  rename it to favicon.ico, and

  3. upload it to your server.

 

       Click on the icon you want and it will start to download.

                                          

                                          

                                          

                                          

 

    Help! My Web Host Doesn't Allow ICO Files!

   If your hosting company does not allow files with the .ICO extension to be uploaded, you might try to work around it by uploading it     (in binary mode) with some other extension (like GIF). Once it's on your site, rename it using your FTP program to the correct    extension.

 Helping the Browser Locate the favicon.ico file

If you have placed your favicon.ico file in a location other than the current web directory (relative to your web page) or the root directory, you have to help your visitors' browser locate the favicon file by specifying it with a tag like the following in the <head> section of your web page.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
