Add a favicon to your website

What's a favicon?
It's a small, cute lil icon represents a website. For exaple:

click to enlarge


First of all, create your own favicon with a size of 16 x 16 pixels, with file format of .png or .ico . Inkscape does the job well for making a picture and exports it into .png. You can use AveIconifier 2 to convert it to .ico if you like, but not necessary. (File size may vary)

Once you got your image ready, upload it somewhere, like photobucket or ImageShack.

Go to your website, add these two lines in between the <head> and </head> tags.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://YourImageURL.png" />
<link rel="icon" href="http://YourImageURL.png" />

And...That's it!!!
You've got yourself your own favicon for your own site.
Cheers~
