Creating a Favorites Icon for your Web Site
Have you ever visited a site and noticed that there was a small icon (image) next to the URL in your address bar or bookmarked a site and saw that it had an icon next to it?
This is done by creating a 16x16 pixel icon (.ico) file with a standard graphics or icon maker program, such as IconForge, and importing it into the root of your web site.
Once you have the .ico file in your root you need to add the following tag to the <HEAD> section of your site:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="myicon.ico">
That's it! You can find out more information about creating a Favorites Icon by visiting Favicon.com
