What is favicon? It is basically your own icon on the browser address bar when visitors view or bookmark your web page. In Firefox everything is flawlessly viewed including the animation favicon, but not IE… IE can only view the favicon after you bookmarked the particular page.

My favicon

That is the example of my current favicon. If you are lucky enough (using Firefox), you may notice the favicon would be animated a bit. It is easy to create this favicon. It is generally a regular .ico file (it is an icon file) that is linked through your html code. You may generate the icon from this site. It is definitely easy task. Just prepare the image, upload it, and voila the site would generate and you may download the files. However, to embed this in your site requires a bit modification in your html code.

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico”>
<link rel=”icon” href=”animated_favicon1.gif” type=”image/gif”>

That is basically the sample code to insert the favicon to your web. Remember to insert it within the head section of your html. More information can be asked to Uncle Google with the keywords “favicon”.
