Whats is it and how do I add it to my site

Right next to the site bar on the left there is a design. Most sites have them and I would like to know how to add and where to put it on my site. For Digitalpoint.com its to the left of the domain name.

Just to clarify I dont want SP design I want my own. I just dont know where and how to add it to my site.

Any help?

 

This link explain very nicely, it is not an affiliate link.

Hope you got it.

Thats exactly what I was looking for. What about the program you have to download, Im not sure I really want to put it on my site.

Is there anyway to do it without that? Just html?

 

There's a simple free program called png2ico.exe (search google) that can create icon files from png images so you can use for a favicon. Size the png image to 32px x 32px and run it through the png2ico program and upload it to the root directory of your site. That's it.

 

Thank you both. Its working great.

 

thanks for your link .

 

There's also a good couple of online favicon generators, the best of which (IMHO) is http://www.favicon.cc/

 

i found
www.favicon.cc
awhile back.. great app and the favicon's come out amazing

 

Actually the favicon's are supposed to be 16x16. small error, but at least that's what I've always used. if it's now changed to the 32x32 size that's great.

 

I love it. Works just the way I wanted.

 

Just found this thread i have been looking to add one of these to my site,thanks very much for the links to those sites that show you how to make and add one.
