How to generate and add a favicon to your website
That little square box you see in the top of your browser when you view someone’s website, that’s a favicon. Usually its 16px by 16px and is very easy to create. If you have a logo or image you would like to use for your favicon you can simply use a Favicon Generator to create the image. Here is a link to a good free generator I like to use http://favicon-generator.org/
Then all you have to do is upload the favicon.ico file to your root directory of your site and add the following code between the <head> and </head> tags of your sites html or php file.
<link rel=”shortcut icon” type=”image/x-icon” href=”favicon.ico”>
