To lloydhass-

As mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, Microsoft hadn't even documented it as part of IE5 so I imagine the future of these "favicons" is up in the air as far as the browser "wars" are concerned... it's a nice feature.

Only IE5 uses this icon. This was undocumented by Microsoft and became known when the error messages started to appear on server logs.

Microangelo did a great job for me. Think out what you want as a 16x16 pixel image cannot convey much information.

Thanks,

I tried it out and got the Favourite thing to work, but it still didn't show beside the URL, until I had reloaded a few times.

it didn't work for me... I made the icon (favicon.ico) and uploaded it but no icon in the favs folder... is there something I missed?

I have an article explaining it on my site, see:

Those of you that have made it work, can you please tell us the exact proceedure? I have made an icon, but it still does not show. Also, I have seen some sites where the icon appears to the left of the URL in the address field. How go about that?

its actually so easy you already know the answer!

All you do is create an icon for yourself and name it "favicon.ico". Put it in the same directory as all your html files and away you go!

Good Luck!

Yes! when I bookmark your site I get the icon in my Favorites. How do I do this for my site?

You have a very nice site! I love the art.
