How to put an image in the URL
address of your page.
What you want to put on your page
is a favicon (short
for 'favorites icon'), also known as a website icon, a page
icon or an urlicon.
Any sixteen by sixteen or larger image will do as long as it is an image
format supported by the web browser (normally)
How to get a real ico image? The HTML KIT website has an automatic
converter FavIcon from Pics --
favicon.ico for your website
It is quite fun. You can use an image that you find with google or all the web images or
make your own pic using gimp.
Gimp comes in many flavors there is gimp for windows, gimpshop which is
more like photoshop or psp and you can even get gimp
portable
which fits inside your usb key and does not have to be installed on
each computer you visit.
Once you have chosen or created your image upload it to FavIcon from
Pics and download the resultant
favicon.ico
It is easier to then put the image in the same folder as your page.
Then you need to write a little code.
When using a
typical urlicon with the suffix .ico: you will need to put this in the
<HEAD> section of your page:
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="favicon.ico">
BTW you do not have to name your icon favicon.ico and you
can write the entire url of your favicon.
However, if you want to be more precise:
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
As you may have guessed the ico format originated with Microsoft.
Being precise seems to be important if you are going to use png or
animated gifs for example.
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/png">
<link rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/gif">
As usual have fun with this. Remember to be meticulous! A
missing point or quotation mark will ruin everything.
BTW the page icon that I used was a jpg and its location is here.
