Title: Need Tech Assistance
Post by: Ash on January 21, 2011, 10:47:08 AM
You know how this website has that little slime drop on the browser tab?
What is that called and how do you make one? (I want to make one for my website)

Thanks!   :smile:

It's called a favicon. I used to do tech support for GoDaddy.com and that's the only reason I know that.

It depends on how you're doing your website. There's HTML code for it but I don't know what it is. If you're doing HTML I'm sure you can just look up "favicon html" on google and figure it out. You'll have to have an image to upload into your hosting space, of course. I'm sure you could probably browse for favicon images online if you don't already have an image to use.

If you're using some graphical web building software like Dreamweaver or Frontpage I'm sure you can look up "favicon" in Help and figure it out as well.

Good luck.

Thanks!   :thumbup:

I knew it had a weird name but couldn't remember it.  Guess I'm going to learn all about favicons today.  :wink:

There are a number of online favicon generators that will make a nice, sharp 16x16 icon image. In many cases, you just have to drop the .ICO file into the root directory of your site and it works.
