How do I create a website icon?
It’s a piece of cake…
Just create a file called favicon.ico (an icon file) and put it in the root of your domain. Optionaly, you can include a meta tag to do it.
More information is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
Also, here is an online generator: http://www.favicon.cc/
There is one gotcha… On your browser, the icon is almost NEVER updated, unless you load just the icon, i.e. http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico then it will refresh the cache, and the new icon will always appear.
