I have noticed for a long time that some of my bookmarked sites have a little icon for the site along with its name and others just have an empty box so I bookmarked my site to see if it has an icon or not. It doesn't have a bookmark icon just an empty box so what do I need to do in order for my site to have a bookmark icon as part of my bookmarks rather then just an empty box. Thanks Mark

  • Hey marks,
    I believe you are referring to a favicon. This is a 16px x 16px image named "favicon" that has a file extension of ".ico".

    Use this to include it :
    Code:
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon.png" />
    If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help.
  • You will need a favicon.

    Found a good article that will explain more in depth than I have time to write.

    I have actually used this online editor to create them:
    favicon.cc


    Best of luck,

  • I think that's just normal, as mine too has that little favicon showing up sometimes also, when my site gets bookmarked by social bookmarking services.
  • This is called a favicon.

    You can create one for free using favicon.cc

    To get it on your site it will need to be placed in the root directory.

    If you are using wordpress just install this plug in
