Favorites icon are litle icons associated with a particular website or webpage, shown next to the site's name in the URL bar of most browsers.

Genfavicon is a free online tool you can use to generate favicon for your website. It takes just one page to do it all :

  1. Upload your image.
  2. Select which part of the image to be used.
  3. Select the dimensions.
  4. Download the result!

I really enjoyed using this tool as it save me a lot of time. Best thing is you're able to scale the image and choose which part exactly you want to use; So its not just about resizing Smile

Also it gives you a snapshout about how your favicon is going to look on Firefox. Take a look:

Ok lets put use your new favicon on your Joomla! website.
  1. Upload "favicon.ico" to your template folder
  2. In your template, modify "index.php" and add this line before the end of the <head> tag

If you're using Joomla 1.0.x :

<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site."/templates/".$mainframe->getTemplate()."/favicon.ico"; ?>" rel="shortcut icon" />

If you're using Joomla 1.5

<link href="templates/<?php echo $this->template ?>/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />

Enjoy!
