How do I make a favicon?

Answer 1

You need a favicon - this is a 16x16 image in .ico format stored as favicon.ico in the root directory your site. Some browsers do support other formats too.

A newer, more standards based approach is to include something like this in your html head:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/path/image.png"/>
