<div align=justify>Favicon is an icon associated with a particular website. To get a better idea of what favicon is, look at your browser address bar. Next to the site name there is a small icon. It was named the favicon because it was first developed in Internet Explorer, which bookmarks sites as "favorites" and this icon was displayed in the favorites menu. 

{{#icon: favicon.png}} is an example of Google favicon.


In this tutorial we'll let you know how to create a favicon for your site.

'''1.''' Choose the image you want to use as your icon. Your favicon image should be square. 

'''2.''' Scale your image to 16x16 pixels.

'''3.''' Save the file as '''''favicon.png'''''.

'''4.''' Rename the file to '''''favicon.ico'''''.

'''5.''' Using an FTP client or cPanel File Manager upload the favicon file to "public_html" folder. 

'''6.''' Now you need to add the HTML code to your web pages:

You can use the following code:

'''''<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">'''''

The ''"link rel"'' line of the code can be before or after the '''<title>''' tags, but it must be in the '''<head>''' section. Use the HTML editor to add that code.


Now that you know how to create a favicon and add it to your site, you can make your webpages look better.</div>
