Favicon Recognition

January 23, 2012
A favicon is the small icon that appears in the browser's title bar or next to the URL bar. Creating a favicon helps establish your brand visually and can help your website become more valuable to search engines.

There are a ton of favicon generators that you can use on the net. One that I always end up using is: http://www.favicon.cc/ due to it's simplicity. Once your favicon.ico file is generated, upload it to your website's root directory so your browser can detect it. And, to be safe, it's always good practice to add one or both of these lines of code in your <head> tag for easier detection:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico">


That's it! You now have a favicon!
