Think of it as a visual reminder for the browser of what site you are on.  This is really handy when it comes to favicons in tabs, because you can quickly see and think “Oh, there is an ‘m’ there, and it looks like Mitch’s layout – that tab must be where I loaded Mitchelaneous.com”.

Favicon creation is not that hard, as long as you have a good graphic editing program.  What you need to remember is keep it 16×16 pixels and name it favicon.ico. Also it will need to be in the root folder for the domain in question – so for example on most Linux-based/cPanel hosting plans for your primary domain name that would be your public_html folder. If it is located somewhere else you can specify a location with these strings in between your <head> and </head> code on your web page:

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

Going back to the favicon creation, there are several good resource online to help you get this done quickly and easily.  Here are some of my favorite favicon generators:

There you can quickly create, edit and download your own personal favicon to use.  It cuts some of the work out of the overall chore of getting your favicon ready for public consumption.

You know the kind that will give you a few options to fill out (such as a survey) or your thoughts and name (such as a contact page)? Go check out The Form Assembly. They make it super easy to get a form up and running in just a few minutes. The only downside to this service that I can see is that for the free version, you do have to look at ads. Other than that though, quality stuff!
