In this tutorial, I will be teaching you how to create and change the icon that shows up for your site in bookmarks and more.
For example, Uzi Gaming's icon is this:
____________________________________________________
What you will need
- An Image
- FTP/File access to your website
____________________________________________________
Steps
1. Make sure your image is a square in size. If you want a better quality image, then I suggest also changing the size to 16x16 in advance.
2. Go to
Converticon.com.
3. Upload your image (make sure you are looking for the right type of image).
4. Once the image has been uploaded, click "export". Make sure that it is set on "Icon" and the 16x16 box is checked.
5. Save your icon.
6. Upload the icon to your webserver.
7. Go into the HTML of page you want to have your icon on.
8. Put this in the head:
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="The_URL_Of_The_Icon">
9. Save your changes, and re-upload that page to your site.
You should now have a custom icon your site/page.
Note: This has to be manually done on every HTML page you want your icon on.
