How do your make the little icons on web browser address bars appear when someone visits your site? For example, the icon on this site is the man running with the briefcase. It appears in the address bar. How is that done?

Thanks!

Hey chopper, I am assuming that you are talking about the favicon. Its super easy to customize.

Get more info about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

Hi Chopper,

also something to note, I noticed when getting my favicons to work, sometime you just have to access it directly via the browser i.e. hxxp://yoursite.com/favicon.ico for it to show up once you have implemented the code and refreshed the page.

Cheers,
