What is a favicon?
To quote Wikipedia.org
A favicon (short for ‘favorites icon’), also known as a website icon, a page icon or an urlicon, is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage.
Where do you see a favicon? You will see it at the beginning of the URL (in your search bar), when you land on a page of a website or blog, where one has been created. It’s actually a very small picture, logo, or whatever the author of the site, chooses.
While I was visiting one of my Blogging Buddies, Nelson at Help Desk Geek, I noticed that he had a favicon. Since he is an expert in computers, I asked him if he would share, with the rest of us, how to create a favicon. He graciously complied, and produced an excellent post detailing how to make your own favicon. To read his post, click on this link: How To Create a Favicon For Your Blog
When you are visiting his site, take note of his favicon. It’s a photo of himself.
How cool is that?
So far, I haven’t ventured into the direction of creating a favicon for my blogs, but when the time arises, I know just where to go, to get detailed instructions.
Thank you again, Nelson!
Barbara, I’m glad you found my post about the Favicon creation interesting, and thanks for sharing it with your readers. Have a nice day.
Nelson,
Your post is very helpful. Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Craig,
I checked out your favicon and site. They both look great!
Good job!
Favicons are pretty easy to do.
Do you like mine?
I can see your favicons natural, I think maybe they have done something to the pcs at work that blocks it?
