Hey all.

I have just downloaded Opera, FF and IE7, all of which show a sites logo in the address bar at the top and in the tab headings.

How do you insert an image here?

Do a search on "favicon" and you'll find all the info you need.

Go to http://www.dynamicdrive.com and on the left-hand side of the page, there is a favicon generator. It can also generate icons for use on your desktop too.

put both of these in, and all also, all browsers will recognize .ico files, but more and more are accepting .jpg and .gif, so you have it easier that way... you can even animate the gif... make is 16px square.
