Hi guys... I making a blog and wondered if someone can point me to where to go to get step-by-instructions on how to do this please?
K.. you know when you're on someones website, and you drag the URL to your desktop and an icon shortcut with an upward blue arrow is planted there? I'd like to have a tiny icon image for my blog's URL so it gets planted there with that teeny blue arrow is fine.
Does anyone know where I can go to learn how to set this up?
Thanks a bunch! Lee

    That is called the Favicon.

    Did you want a way to make it yourself or something to generate one for you?

    This will do it for you: favicongenerator.com

    This appears to tell you how to do it yourself: macinstruct.com/node/75

    Neither is my website.

    I use tools(dot)dynamicdrive(dot)com to generate a favicon
    I like to pick one of my own images to create the favicon from
    After that just upload the image to root and add this code to your page:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">



    Easy easy easy!
