Don’t Allow Your Site Out In Public Without a FavIcon
If you check the address bar of the window as you view this post, you should see that my blog has a favicon - in this case, a tiny image of a paperclip.
When you bookmark a site, the favicon appears next to the name of the site in your bookmark list. Most sites have a favicon now, but when they don’t they stand out for the wrong reasons.
You can generate your own favicon by using an online tool, very easily.
Just pick an image you want to use - maybe an icon or your logo and then submit the image to a favicon generation tool.
When you get your favicon returned to you, simply put it in the root directory of your web site.
I used this service from favicon.co.uk to generate mine. You can also add your icon to the gallery - I did, and five months later they wrote to me to say the icon had been accepted.
