Perhaps you are already familiar with the image/icon on the left of a web site address in the address box of your internet browser. Or if you look closely, on the menu "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" Internet browser you will see icons of such accompany of your favorite web sites.

This small icons known as favicon or favicon.ico, and how to make it is not too difficult. You can find a tutorial on how to create and install a favicon to your website from the internet. One of the favorite tutorial that I can recommend you is http://www.1stsitefree.com/howcani/ favicon.htm.

Say, you’ve already created a favicon file, as discussed in the above site and have been through all the instructions in the install file favicon on your web site, but the favicon image does not appear in the web address of your browser when you access your web site. Picture favicon, generally appear immediately when you using a browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera. If you do not see the icon favico appear in your Internet Explorer browser, try to do with the "Bookmarks" page of your website first and see that this step will solve the problem.

If you feel that you have placed the favicon.ico file in a location other than the Document Root (eg httpdocs, htdocs or public_html), you should put code in the following pages <head> from your website’s browser program to help visitors find the location of the property favicon file your website :

<link rel= "shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

You should replace "/favicon.ico" in the above example in accordance with the original location of your favicon.ico file. For example, you can use the "/images/favicon.ico" if the favicon file in the folder "/images/".
