That little picture...

hlavco

You know how, on some sites, next to the address, there's a little picture?

(Zeldacomic.net, for example, with the pensive Link)

Yeah, how do I make one of those?

Well, I haven't actually made one, but I remembering seeing this article that might point you in the right direction towards making it.

It's called a favicon.ico file that is placed in the root (bottom-most) directory of your site. (Wikipedia has a good entry on it.)

Basically, if I recall correctly, you make a 16x16 image in MS Paint, save it as an .ico file (if you can...that failing save it as a .bmp and rename it as an .ico), upload it to your site, and then add one line of text in your index.html. You can also do it in photoshop or there are plenty of tutorials out there.

awesome! FIFTIETH post!
