Have you ever seen those little graphics in your address bar?
PodTube has the little http://podtube.co.cc/favicon.ico graphic. Now, if you’ll notice, you can find it at http://podtube.co.cc/favicon.ico. This should tell you one thing. One, it’s an icon. To make your own and get it to display, here are some instructions.

1. Open PhotoShop or the GIMP. The GIMP is free, and can be easily downloaded.
2. Create a new image, 16×16 pixels in size.
3. Zoom in and draw a small logo. Try to avoid words.
4. Save as favicon.ico in the Icon file format.
5. Upload it to the root (/) of your web, so you can see it at http://your-site.com/favicon.ico
6. Wait for a while, and it’ll appear. If it takes more than 24 hours, press F5, clear your cache, and restart your browser.

You are missing the :



Plus i would not suggest 'drawing it' since you are going to have a hard time playing around with effects.

Very good one if you want to upload an image... which is usually what i do and it re-sizes and keeps some of the quality.

Thanks Shivanikapoor I was looking for a website like this. This is really very useful, Thanks for helping.

Thanks shivnikapoor. I like those Icon there are very nice.

I don't know, but . . .
I use the following in my htm(l) pages:

to display my " " favicon.ico.

That's right, Fortune 500 here we come!

ZPCS, you have the correct version of the code. Unlike Mr.Touz's, you close your link tag, which will therefore be a valid HTML code. However, often I use the following code

The difference is that, the code I use tells the server that I want an image/icon to view. I know I somewhat do that with the link, but "old-skool" browsers need to be told all information.

Thanks IamShipon1988, I know MrTouz had the best of intentions and it was most likely a typo.
I like it when conforming additives enhance the performance, that's the sixth thing I learned today.
Yeah! I'm one of those that uses hand tools in the midst of technology but I do use power tools - carefully so I don't cut my digits off. (1 and 1 = 1)

Thanks. I know Photoshop, and I could have made it in a other way, but you have made the steps simple here in your tutorial.
