What is a favicon and how do I get one?
What is a
favicon?
It's a mini-logo that appears on the left side of the URL address above
your weblog or website.
Here's how to add one to your
weblog:
1. Choose an image, preferably 300×300 pixels, that is easily
recognizable. Detailed photos or drawings are generally difficult to
identify when they are reduced in size to about 16×16 pixels.
2. Visit http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/.
3. Upload the image where it says 'Source Image' and click 'Generate
Favicon.ico'
4. You will then see a preview of the image. If it is not to your
liking, simply start over until you are happy with it.
5. Next, download the favicon by clicking 'Download Favicon' and save
it to your desktop.
6. Double-click on the file to unzip it.
7. Login to your weblog.
8. Upload the favicon.ico file using your file manager.
9. Link back to your weblog. You should see the favicon appear in the
URL bar in minutes.
