How to put your own icon in the address bar!

[LogicalDemise]

I actually just found out how to do this today and was amazed at how simple it really is. This icon, if you are using Internet explorer, will be displayed when you view it in the favorites menu and when you access it from the favorites menu. If you are using Mozillar Firefox or Opera, and a few other browsers, the icon will be displayed on every page within that site. The icon is known as a "favicon". It should be self-explanatory as to why it's called that.

Put this somewhere in your index.html or any other HTML file on your site:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/path/to/myfavicon.ico">

Hope you can use this!

I would suggest making your own... the chances of you finding a pic that would look good that small without making it that small on your own are very slim.

<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/path/to/myfavicon.ico">
I think it's better if you do it like this - the browser knows what kind of file it is, because you specify a MIME type.
