Favicon.ico

Favicons are the little icons that sit to the right of the URL in the address bar, and also to the right of the Title up in the title bar in most browsers.

Here's a great web-tool for creating your own favicon - just lets you upload an image and it converts it to an .ico file. Of course you can use animated gifs and jpgs but it is more correct to use an .ico file.

If you haven't currently got one in your website/blog template, you need to add this code just above the </head> tag.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico">

You can name your favicon whatever you like, however it is usual just to give it the name favicon.

Good times.
