Favicons

The little icons that show up on your web browser in the address bar have been the focus of my attention as of late. A little web searching found info about "favicons". Apparently that is what they are called. One can be added to any web page with a 16 x 16px picture, a favicon generator and some html inserted on your page:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" >
inserted after the <head> tag, before the </head> tag:

Very cool. I've added them to my other pages and will add one here, next.

Just for grins I added a FavIcon generator to the sidebar at the bottom. Have fun!
