Putting Your Site Icon Into Visitors' Browser Address Bar
A file named favicon.ico in the document root of your server is used by browsers as an icon in their address bar and within bookmarks. (The document root is the directory where your home or index web page is located.)
The favicon.ico file is a special image file. Click here for a list of sofware with which to make the image.
To accomplish the task, these three things are required.
- The file must be an image file correctly formatted.
- The file's name must be favicon.ico
- The file must be in the document root of the server.
You'll see the icon of this website in your browser's address bar.
