Favicons are the small icons that are displayed next to site names in address bars. They are only 16×16 pixels big, so creating one can be tricky unless you are a design whizz.
There are a few sites out there that have Favicons that are ready to go. A good one is
favicon.cc, which is where
gHacks found their great Mona Lisa favicon.
The
top rated Favicons are listed, as well as the
latest favicons. If you’re feeling up to the challenge, then there are tools to help you create your own favicon. Once you created or chosen your favicon, just upload the favicon.ico file to your webserver directory and it will be displayed.
