favpicblog.jpgI get surprised when i don’t see a favicon on a website. it looks cool and its so easy to do even a noob can do it.

What is a favicon? Its the little icon that appears to the left of the URL on a website. Its short for favorite icon.

first select an image for your website. make sure its a square size. example 200×200pixels. go to htmlkit and generate a favicon and download. now use ftp client to replace the favicon.ico file on your website. look for it in your root folder.

now refresh your browser and there you go. if it doesn’t show. try typing in http://www.bloggernoob.com/favicon.ico(ctrl+F5) that should do the trick.
note replace bloggernoob.com with your site. noob!
