Having a graphic for the name of the website

**dazbug** · 12-20-2006, 07:13 AM

Is there anyway we can make a graphic for the name of the website so it displays before the address in the address bar ??

As almost every webpage does it these days? I did a search but couldn't find anything.

Example, Yahoo website has that red 'Y' before the www.yahoo.com etc

thanks

Fantastic Web hoster and support forums :)

Yes it is called a favicon.

1) Go to www.google.com
2) Type in "How to make a favicon"
3) There are 1000's of resourece sites available

And remember that not everyone can see them. Example I can see them in Firefox but not in IE6.

I uploaded a picture, but then it says to do this -
Q. How do i do this? Where do i get access in the control panel to do it or what icon do I use in control panel to change it?

sorry, Im a noobie :)

To add this favicon to your web page:

Click "Download FavIcon" and open the package. favicon.ico is included in it.
Upload the favicon.ico file to the folder on your web site where you have the web page.
Add the following HTML tag to your web page after the <head> tag, before the </head> tag:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
That's it! To test your new favicon in Internet Explorer, add your site to Favorites and reopen the page

Have you heard of patience? I mean you asked the question, it's holiday - and this is a forum of volunteers who use the programs to help each other. Have you looked for any posts to see if you could help?

Now - you have access on any of your pages - open your index page - right click on the page - click on "page html" and you'll see where to put this information. (After the head tag).
