To Change The Icon Next To The Url Bar

Recommended Posts

To change the icon for a website. Like the little icon next to the url bar in the browser or the bookmark Icon. Example Like the myspace group image that is next to the url bar when browsing Facebook.
You need to add this code inside the head tags.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;
To convert an existing image to an .ico, use this link or google favicon generator for other available services. Some Image software is also able to save as ico, but not all of them do so.

Yes, nice, but... where do you put this "link rel" thing ? On your PC ? On the index.html of your swebsite ?

Between <head></head> tags of all your pages :o

There's this alternative to the conversion tool at DynamicDrive - works all the same and converts any a png to a favicon and vice-versa: http://convertico.com/
