for these just create an icon and name "favicon" andupload to your site root and put below tag in head of your pages

<link rel='icon' href='http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon'><link rel='shortcut icon' href='http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon'>

if you can't create icon you can search for icon throuth internet, there are many icons

be successful

I think MS Paint in WinXP can save icons, but I don't have Windows XP so I use Pixel Toolbox

Just make a 16x16 bitmap of what you want your icon to be, and make it simple because 16x16 isn't a lot to work with. Save it and run Pixel Toolbox

 

Start with a 16x16, Windows Icon, 256 colors Windows 8-bit, and open the bmp you made to be your icon.

 

If it won't let you click the "Save As" button, just click one of the tools above the closeup photo of your bmp (which de-selects the photo) and it should work then. Save as an ico and upload it to where you pointed your link that was given above...

 

 

This program is also useful for making windows icons for shortcuts in windows (32x32)

It seems that the web host I am using already has a favicon for my page, and I'm having a hard time puting up my own, does anyone have any suggestions?

Can you give us a link so we can view the code :(You may just have to upload your own over the top or delete some code But its not server side so it will be in the html page
