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

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

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">
