Adding custom icon for bookmarks

Internet Creating Weather Web Sites
1

Adding a custom icon (so when a person bookmarks they see not the default IE icon but your own custom one) is really pretty simple.

  1. You need to make a 16 pixel x 16 pixel image of what you want in a image creation program (I use Photoshop but you can even use MS Paint).

  2. Save it as a .gif image called favicon.gif

  3. Go to http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ and convert it to a .ico image.

  4. Upload to your site

  5. Add a bit of code to your page(s) to make sure the .ico is getting used properly. It should go between the tags.

You can also make a favicon online… http://www.imageauthor.com

And in Firefox, it even shows up in the tab…
