favicon.ico
I wanted to add that little picture up in the address bar to my site. After a bit of research I found that it is called favicon.ico
To add this icon I created a picture in mspaint and shrunk it down. I then saved it as favicon.ico and placed in the main directory (I’m guessing that it can be placed in the images directory)
The following lines must be added to the header section in the page:
link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://example.com/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon”
link rel=”icon” href=”http://example.com/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon”
And bob’s your uncle! It adds another touch of professionalism to the page.
