How do you get your own website address?

How do I get that little logo in the address bar on my website?

  • How do I get that little logo in the address bar on my website? The one now is the green speech bubble with the white star in it. Is there a html code for it? thanks -finn

  • Answer:

    The "little logo" in the address bar is called a favicon. If you have a regular site built with html pages all you will have to do is place it in the root directory (where your index.html is) and the web server will do the rest. If you have a content management system like joomla it gets a bit different... I you like I can help you. When it comes to getting the logo all you need to do is use a free service like the ones listed below and it is generated automatically. Like I said before if you need help I am willing to assist. just email me at [email protected]

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. A web designer can create such an icon, and many recent web browsers can then make use of them. Browsers that support favicons may display them in the browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface. It had been suggested that both of the following HTML lines should be included in your <head> section: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"> <link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"> Generate your .ICO here: http://www.htmlkit.com/services/favicon/ Use the appropriate resolution and color depth. ICO: include multiple resolutions (the most commonly used being 16×16 and 32×32, with 64×64 and 128×128 sometimes used by Mac OS X) and bit-depths (most common being 4, 8, 24 bpp—i.e. 16, 256 and 16 million colors) in the file. GIF: use 16×16 in 256 colors. PNG: use 16×16 in either 256 colors or 24-bit. Note: favicon.ico when located in the document root directory, will also be found by some browsers that do not process the link elements, even if it is not linked from anywhere on your site.

That is called a favicon. These two articles tell you how to do it - http://www.small-business-software.net/online-business-resources.htm What is a Favicon - http://www.developer-resource.com/what-is-a-favicon.htm Goodluck

Yah, first you need to make a .ico image file (there are some image converters out there). Then do add this between the <head> and </head> elements. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="[url to your image]"> where the "href" refers to the path of your image file.

It's called a "favicon". Here's a site to get a free one (this is where I generated mine from as well): http://www.freefavicon.com/
