HTML and Code design insider tricks
Your icon in a list of favorites on someones PC will add more that a little professionalism. Take a look at your Favorites List and see which of them stand out - yep the ones with a graphical image attached to them. You can do this as well, however the drawback is that most graphical packages do not support this style even though it is in standard ICON format.
Once you have chosen or created your file you most follow these steps:
1. Rename the file to
favicon.ico
2. Save this file in your sites root directory
3. If you do not own your domain "See-Tip: HTML CODE - favicon.ico

When this is completed, every user's ADD TO FAVORITES request will automatically download this image file and attach it to the link.
