What is a Favicon? A Favicon (The Favorites Icon) is the little icon that shows up in your bookmarks and in the tab display of most Web browsers. Here is how to create a Favicon
Step 1
Using any graphics program, design an image that is 16 x 16 pixels. Keep in mind that this is extremely tiny, so you might have to give several a try until you find the right one for your site.
Save the image as a BMP or GIF file using 256 colors or less. Icon files, such as Web images, have to appear on computer monitors, so they can't reliably display millions of colors. However, since an icon file is for Windows displays only, it can be 256 colors, rather than the Web standard 216.
Step 2
Once you have designed the right image, you must convert it to the icon format. There are hundreds on the market, so you'll have to do some research or ask a local web designer.
Step 3
After all of those steps, step 3 is the easiest! Publishing time! This is a simple procedure. Upload the icon to the same directory as the file you want bookmarked. Boca Raton Web Design
If you'd like, the above procedure can be done for every page of your site!
