Little Icon

I note that on my bookmark of this page and many others there is a little icon next to the title of the page. The little pic also shows next to the url at the top of the window. How do you put that on?

Heres how you do it:* Make an image of 16 * 16 pixels.
* Save it as an ICON file (.ico) extension with the name favicon.ico in the root folder of your Website. (The folder with your index.html file)
* Done. Its that simple.
When someone bookmarks your site, the Browser looks for a file called http://YourSite.com/favicon.ico. If it finds a file it uses your file instead of its default file.
There is lots of software out there that can save gif or JPEG images as an .ico file. A good free one is Irfanview.
