What is a favicon? A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included on nearly all professional developed sites. The Favicon allows the webmaster to further promote their site, and to create a more customized appearance within a visitor’s browser. Often, the Favicon reflects the look and feel of the web site or the organization’s logo. --from favicon.com

Where and when will our Favicon be seen? The Favicon was first popularized by its appearance in the “Address Bar” and “Favorites Folder” using Internet Explorer and is now a prominent fixture of web browsers such as Mozilla and the soon-to-be-released Netscape 7.0. Each web browser has a unique user interface, and as a result uses the Favicon in different ways. --from favicon.com

 

CSUC came out with a new web template but didn't include a favicon.ico so I created one. I made it with Chami.com's FavIcon from Pics web application using the university's flame logo. To use it download it from here (or use RCE's version) and save it in your web directory (public_html). Then, on each page you want the icon to show, add the code below between the page's head tags (if your web page and your favicon.ico are in different directories you will have to alter the href property). For an example view the source (View > Page Source in FireFox) of this page and look at line number five.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
