How to Put a Logo on an Address Bar in a Website
As you bring up different websites in your browser window, certain sites contain little pictures (favicons) that show up next to the URL in the address bar. You have the option to create a favicon for your own website using an image such as your logo. Making a favicon requires access to your picture file and the Web host account that manages your pages. Add a favicon to your site to enable visitors to recognize your brand.
