How to change your web site's favorites icon

1. The easiest way to get a favorites icon is to download one, from a web site such as Artscape and then rename it to favicon.ico.

   The alternative is to create a 32x32 256-color image in a picture editor, and convert it to an icon file. In some image editors, the conversion can be done using a plug-in; otherwise there are some free programs that can do it.

2. Upload the favicon.ico file in binary format to the root directory (public_html) of your web site.
