First you must create a logo for your web-address icon. I suggest using an abbreviation or drawing a simple pattern for your icon, which should be easy to create using Paint or any other similar program on your PC or Mac. In order to have your icon appear in the browser's address bar without being distorted, you must size the image to precisely 16x16 pixels, and use the ".ico" file extension. For example, "YourImage.ico" as opposed to "YourImage.jpg." Once you have finished creating your icon, upload this file to the main directory on your website. With some web-servers that's all you need to do, and the icon will appear on every web-page in your directory by default. However, if that's not the case with your web-server, simply open your HTML editor and place the following code between the <head> HEAD </head> tags of each page to which the icon should appear.
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="YourImage.ico">
For alternate subdirectories or sub-domains simply repeat the process. Producing a web-address icon can definitely add a touch of professionalism, class, and a unique sense of validation to your domain. I hope this article was helpful.
