How do you get to put your logo on the webaddress bar to appear(on the left side) when your site address appears? Any suggestions on size and how to get it there?

And if you dont know what Im talking about its that little green graphic this site has in the browser when you enter the site into the address bar in the browser.

thankx:eek:

It's called a favicon. I don't have my code snippets handy but if you google "favicon", you'll find what you need.

Just create the file as an .ico, name it favicon.ico and put in the root directory of the server.

I linked to a tutorial in the first thread. Hope that helps some.

Like was said before then add this in the <head>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico" >
