Address Bar Logo for Site - I'm sure this is simple but...

    ...its got me stumped!!

    I'm trying to find out how to edit my site such that the small logo appears when the site is visited - this logo appears in the address bar and in the favourites bar if you save it there... seems to be commonplace amongst major sites.

    (for an example, see the address bar in your browser... should have the black DP logo preceding 'http://forums.digitalpoint etc etc')

    Any help would be vastly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Try putting the following in your page's <head>:

    <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    Code (markup):
    With /favicon.ico being the path to a 16x16 pixel .ico file of your desired logo image.

    If you don't know how to create the ico file you can google for [favicon generator]. You'll find lots of tools that convert a regular jpg,gif or png to ico.
