    How do you place icon or logo at the Browser URL form. For example:

    LOGO http://forums.digitalpoint.com

    At the top of the browser, where you enter the URL to go to different sites.

    It's call a "favicon". A quick search of google will get you all the information you need. I know there are many websites that have the faicon generators and code you need to place. Good luck...

    Also,

    I just got my first domain and was interested in the "favicon" also. I wanted it to show up on all my pages across my subdirectories so I had to add this line to the top of my HTML files :

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico" >

    You really dont need to put the whole URL in there, just drop the favicon into the root folder and then make the tag like this:


    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

    The / means "go to the root folder of this website" so no matter where your file is the browser will find the icon.
