Do You Have A Favicon?

Did you notice?

We installed a favicon.

It’s just one more detail that scores you a few extra points in the credibility index (Can I trust you?)

Do you know what I am talking about?

It’s the little logo you see in the address bar. It’s also shows up  in bookmarks (yep, social ones too!), which means you need to get one right now!

Fortunately you can have one in a few minutes for free:

here’s a copy of ours:

 You Can Only See It On The Blog Page

 

 

You can create one too! It’s easy… Here’s how:

    I like this short favicon it’s a cool way of saying it. So, I sell Highlighting Pens. I’ll go change the name right now to Hi Pen:-)

    Another great tip from Rich! So now my new site http://www.Free-EasyPublications.com has a favicon

    (Amal, if it is going to work, your favicon must be called favicon.ico and it must be in the root directory, where your home page is stored)

    Sweet – took a few minutes. Just do it everyone! Thanks Rich.

    Rich,
    I really appreciate this post. I think having a customized Favicon is a key point to show more professionalism in the website. Not many do it and having a different company’s logo on your site isn’t good. For example, a Joomla created site has the Joomla Favicon by default.

    Thank you so much for the favicon info. I made a favicon with my bee for my http://www.freebeezzz.com site. As a newbie, this is something I plan to put on as I am working on my site. What a nice touch! I really appreciate it! It should be on by the end of this week. woohoo!

    Well, to be honest with you Rich, your favicon doesn’t show up in my browser (Opera 9), though Frann from comment above does.

    I created my favicon successfully. Now can anyone tell me how to get it to appear in my address bar? Thanks!
