Icon in the Address Bar of Your Website

Posted by: Eric Bramlett in Web Design

Alright…so this is really basic. I’ve wanted to know how to do this for a long time, and I finally Googled it the other day. It’s ridiculously easy to put an icon in the address bar of your website (so easy that I’ll put one up here w/in a couple of days.) Here’s how you do it:

1) Create a 16X16px image you want to use (usually a small logo or abbreviated version of your logo)

2) Save the file as “favicon.ico” - must be an .ico file

3) Upload it to your root directory.

That is it…couldn’t be easier. The hard part is coming up with a 16X16px image you want to use!

Here’s an online resource that will help you create your own logo/image.

Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
