Intrigued

I was surfing around for something else and ran into this web site:
http://www.favicon.com/
Now I know Indigorose knows about this piece of information (as the 'i' in the Address (URL) input box in the browser proves.
However, I never took the time to find out how this was created by web site designers the web over.
Well, with this piece of code:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico">
...coded into the top portion (I put it absolute top, above all other codes snippets, other locations may work) of your home/main web page you can too add a 'favicon' (fav-eye-con) to your web site!
Next, make sure you size (16x16/256 colors and possible a 32x32 size will work) your 'favicon' correction and label it:
favicon.ico
After taking about 4 minutes to whip one up (from a piece of an image on my index page of one of my sites) I added the icon file to the main directory of my site in question and coded the line I quoted above. Checked my web site and there it was!
Well, simple pleasures for simp... well you know.
Enjoy!
