Its called a favicon (basically an image in .ico format which you can make to customize your site that little bit more)

Its done by adding this code inbetweenn ur <head> tags:
Code: Select all
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
To make a .ico image, just use this generator:
http://www.kgreene.com/favicon.php

Rename the saved .ico to favicon.ico and upload it to the root of your website.

There's also a plug-in for PhotoShop to allow you to create / save .ico files.
There are instructions and a PhotoShop tutorial HERE

Sypher's "<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />" code will allow it to work in IE, though you may need to save it in IE for it to work.
