What is a Favicon ?

A favicon also known as the urlicon is a small icon which appears besides the website URL and represents your website . I just now placed my favicon. A majority of browsers are compatible with favicons. Favicons are also seen when some one bookmarks your site.

Why a Favicon ?

There is no major reason of having a favicon. It just that it makes your site look professional and better as compared to those competing sites not having a favicon. It creates a brand awareness. Makes it easier for people navigating their bookmarks. In some search engines favicons are shown before your site so your site stands out.

How to add a favicon to a site ?

Here is one image to favicon converter. If you own a blog you can use plugins like Max Blog Press Favicon. If you own a site just add this code in your HTML head section before the </head>.

<link REL=”SHORTCUT ICON” HREF=”http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico”>

Some times, takes some time for the favicon to occur. So don’t panic !
