Adding icon to your website

I have been working on developing the website for the K-Net project. These days, one can see the icon besides the URL on the address bar. It just gives a trendy look. I thought of assigning once such icon to the K-Net URL.

It is actually very simple. Here are the steps
1. create an icon, and name it as favicon.ico
2. the size of the icon should be 16×16
3. store the favicon.ico in the root folder of your website.

Well, if you do not want to name the icon as favicon.ico or you do not have access to the root folder of your website, then you need to add the following statement to the index.html or index.jsp. The statement should be in the head tag.

There is also a tool available that can generate icon of 16×16 provided you provide this tool with an image. The tool is available at http://www.dagondesign.com/tools/favicon-generator-tool/
