Adding An Icon To URL Address

You can add a small icon image to next to your URL address. This icon will appear when people visit your web site and whenever they bookmark any page on your site, it will show up in their bookmark folder with that icon.

The first thing that you want to do is to create an image that is sized 16x16 pixel. Once you have your image, you then type in this code in the head section of your HTML:

<link rel="icon" href="URL location to image icon" type="image/x-icon" />

However Internet Explorer uses a slightly different code, so if you want your icon to also appear in Internet Explorer browser, then add in this line of code as well (to the head section of your HTML).

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="URL location to image icon" type="image/x-icon" />
