Put your own icon on the browser address

Have you seen FronTools icon? Would you like to put your own icon on the browser address? It’s easy and we will help you. As Monika says “By having your very own unique favicon you can set yourself apart from millions of other online users. It’s kind of like a signature of your website/blog”. It will make a difference; give your site an identity and a visual improvement.
But how can we do it? There are some cool free tools on the web:

• Online fav-icon creator - create an icon from an image or just draw it, this one is my favourite;
• Favicom Editor – create an icon from an image or draw it;
• FavIcon from Pics – create an icon from an image, suggested by Monika;
• FreeFavicons – create an icon from an image;
• Or you can just download a favicon already created!

Using one of the tools above you can create your icon. Them you must upload it to the root of your site and insert the following code in your site’s main index page, just before the </head> tag:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/favicon.ico” mce_href=”/favicon.ico” />

To test it in Internet Explorer, add your site to Favorites and reopen browser. In Firefox or other Mozilla-based browser just open your web page.
Try it and let me know how it worked!
