Ok, you know those little icons that are to the left of a web address? |_ http://www.domain.com_| Well that is called a favicon, folks. If you want one, simply do the following:

1.) Make sure your favicon is in .ico format. Name it favicon.ico
2.) Upload the favicon.ico to the same folder as your main index.html or index.php or index.asp, whatever. Basciaaly, you should have:
http://domain.com/blah/favicon.ico http://domain.com/blah/index.___<--PHP,HTML,ASP, whatever you have.
3.) Put this into the head tag of your index page:

CODE

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

That's it!

Tutorial by GeT HeX'D
vBulleitin favicon.ico included. IDK I felt that if you wanted to try it out, you could use this favicon...

I came across this a couple weeks ago, and was quite pleased. It's a lot easier than downloading the plugin, and you can make any picture you want into a favicon in only seconds, free of charge.

There is a similar offer on this website: http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/. It has no apparent limit to the file size of the image you upload and it is generated within seconds. If you want to enhance the hyperlinks on your website leading to other pages by adding the target's favicon right next to your link, have a look at this nice tutorial: Hyperlink Cues with Favicons

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. You made a simpler thing even simpler by the way you explained it. Favicon's can add a boost to your website, so thanks for telling us.

Even though I knew how to do this, you refreshed my mind .

Is there any browsers that aren't capable of Favicon?

Have a great day!

-Tom.

   Since i am currently in the process of making my own Ubuntu-based distro and will be including Flock

   QUOTE Here are the steps: Download the latest version of phpBB2. Currently it can be

   problems dealing with them. Decompress the files to a directory on your local system, making sure
   that you maintain the relationship between directories. I'll suggest that you decompress them to
   c:\webupload Now, within C:\webupload, you should have a phpBB2 directory, full of
   goodies. Open up your FTP client, and connect to where your web host tells you to go for up....
