Favicons – say what??

Files under General | Posted by Admin

You’ve certainly seen them – but did you know what they were called and how you could install them on your site??

FavIcon is short for favorites icon. Favicons became popular as icons that were displayed next to web site addresses on the favorites menu of a browser, also called the bookmarks menu. Today, favicons are displayed on the browser address bar and browser tabs, as well as on bookmarks and Internet shortcuts. A favicon is an icon associated with a web page or an HTML document.

They aren’t a necessity – but you’ve got to admit – they do add a little something to the browser bar – and, using a nice animated one – can attract attention!!

You can create your own here . . . . . . . urljo.com

This particular site allows you to create favicon from an image. What could be simpler??

Go on – you know it makes sense!!
