Easy Favicons

Favicons are favourite icons - Not just pretty pictures in the tabs of your browser, but important icons to help you identify sites easily.

Here's and example of favicons at work in a Firefox tabbed browser.

Icons

How do make favicons the easy way?

Well, visit FavIcons from Pics, use their online tool to upload the image you want to use, they will convert it into a FavIcon, zip it up and you can download it.

Unzip the .ico file to the local folder of the website where you intend to use the icon.
Upload the icon to your live site.
In the <head> tags of your page place the following code...

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

The path in this example code is to the /img folder of your server.
You can rename the favicon to something more useful if you wish, like design.ico or star.ico
