Website Address Bar graphic

Question

How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up? I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site. Thanks

Answer 1

Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.

You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

Answer 3

What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.

There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)

favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
