what-is-faviconHaving a favicon for your website is very important.  A favicon is a little graphic that appears on the address bar before your url.  Also, a favicon is an icon that represents your website on a users Favorites list or Bookmark list.

How to create a Favicon

Creating a favicon so simple.  Many people mistake it and go to use many different kinds of programs.  Any image can be your favicon.  Just use the below code to add a favicon to your website.

The above code is a meta tag.  So don’t forget to add it between your <head> </head> codes.

You can create a favicon with any kind of an image creator including Paint which comes with every computer.  But remember to convert it to an .ico file which you can do so simple at the following url : http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

After you convert your image to an .ico file, the website will give you alink to download the file.  Download the favicon.ico file and upload it to your main directory via FTP.  You can read my FTP article What is FTP and How does it Work if your not sure about FTP.  It should work fine with the above meta tag being added to your <head> </head> tags.

You can also use the below code to make it very simple if the above code does not work.
