I am curious how websites like this one can place icons in the tab or next to their url on a favorites list. Can someone tell me how I can do that to my site? If you have more than 1 window open in your browser do you see that some of them have a logo or icon in it while others like mine just have a piece of paper with the top right corner folded down.
UB has a green bass on theirs.
Thanks ya'll.
Just Google for favicon (http://www.google.com/search?q=favicon). It's pretty easy to do. Some sites even have animated favicons, but they're only animated in Firefox.
also be sure to put you favicon file in your root directory. If its deep inside other files in your site it can sometimes take a long time for the browser to find it, if at all. ~beer~
Sweet thanks guys. :)
Ok I am not having luck adding the 16x16 icon I created to my site. I am using Yahoo site builder so maybe if I knew where to add it I could do it. Any ideas? I read where it says to add this to the HEADER section. That seems kinda vague to me. Any ideas?
Found this on Yahoo Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071019093240AAAQkjM):
Just upload the favicon.ico to your root directory, and add this inside the <head></head> tags:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" />
tsmith35 at the risk of sounding dumb :) I already had the code from another site but my problem was finding where to put the code. I see lots of references to <head> but not sure which one to post this in front of.
