Favicon - an icon for you website
Have you ever bookmarked a website and noticed that there was a small icon next to the text? That icon is know as a “favicon” and you can have one for your website too. There are many tutorials out there which instruct you to download and install programs and edit images to create favicons, but I have a better solution.
First, you need an image you want to use as a favicon. It shouldn’t be too elaborate, because all the detail will disappear when it is reduced to 16×16 pixels. Next, you need to browse to the online favicon creation tool at Chami.com. Upload you picture, then check out the preview. If you like what you see, download a zip file containing your freshly created icon. Now you need to unzip the icon and upload it to your website. Finally, add [html][/html] to the header section of any web page you want to display your new favicon. Refresh your page and enjoy your icon.
