Adding Favicons To Your Website

Favicon

A nice little feature you can add to any of your websites is the Favicon, a little image that appears in your browser’s navigation toolbar and next to your bookmark. A lot of webmasters don’t realize how easy this feature is to implement, so let me show you how it takes very little time.

Basically, you want to create a 16×16 image and then insert the following code between your <head> tags:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />

And that’s it! You now have instant branding for your websites.

    also if you can have an animated gif as your favicon. Just make it 16×16 and point to it in the href on your link tag.

    As well have the favicon.ico version above it too this will help IE users as they cannot see anything besides .ico
