I start with a 200 x 200, 72 dpi image, then create my final image. The 16 x 16 pixel final image is created, being sure to select bicubic sharper. It must be uploaded into your root directory not in any other folder and also must be named favicon.ico. It cannot be a .jpg file that you rename to .ico, if it was only that easy.
Copy the source below and paste it in the head of your index.html page, below the title of your page. The index.html page must also be uploaded into your root directory. The root directory is usually the public_html folder of most servers.
<link rel=”Icon” href=”/favicon.ico”type=image/x-icon/>
Most browsers you must empty the cache and remove all website icons in the preferences before you will see the new icon you created. It is probably best to restart your browser after resetting. You might also go to the tutorial video we have posted on YouTube.
