Today I want to talk about favicons. First let’s explain what a favicon is. Favicon is short for favorites icon. You may know it by other names such as website icon. It’s that small image in your browser address bar that comes just before the address. You most likely see it in your favorites list as well. How do you get those neat little images you ask. In the past the method was to put a icon image named favicon.ico in your root directory. Now with improvements in browser technology, you can use gif and png. Note this isn’t supported in every browser. The major browsers should accept them. In order to use a gif or png image you will need to add some code to your header. There are a lot of sites out there that help you to create a favicon from an image. Dynamic Drive offers such a tool located Here. If you run into problems just contact us and we will help you out.
