What is a favicon?
A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included on nearly all professional developed sites. The Favicon.ico allows the webmaster to further promote their site, and to create a more customized appearance within a visitor’s browser. Often, the Favicon.ico reflects the look and feel of the web site or the organization’s logo.
Where and when will a Favicon be seen?
The Favicon.ico was first popularized by its appearance in the Address Bar
and Favorites Folder
using Internet Explorer and is now a
prominent fixture of web browsers such as Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape. Each web browser has a unique user interface, and as a result uses the Favicon
in different ways.

How Do I Add my Favicon.ico?
Simply upload your favicon.ico (note it should be called favicon.ico and the name is case-sensitive on Linux servers) to the root of your webserver (the same level your index.html file is). Once you have uploaded the favicon then place this code in the head of your pages:
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='favicon.ico' />
Note: When using Internet Explorer you will NOT see the icon in the location bar until you have added it to your favorites.
