I created a website using Yahoo site builder how to create and change my favicon?

I want to change the little icon that is displayed next to my page title to give it a more professional look. Which folder do i put it in? etc? I already have my favicon image made.|||You have 2 options.





Make sure your icon is called favicon.ico





1. Upload to the root directory of your website - usually the same directory as your home page.

Some web servers do not recognise .ico files so you can upload it as a .gif and then rename using FTP afterwards or :





2. This works regardless of where your favicon is hosted on the internet.





Put the following in the %26lt;head%26gt; section of your web pages





%26lt;link rel=%26quot;shortcut icon%26quot; href=%26quot;/favicon.ico%26quot; type=%26quot;image/x-icon%26quot; /%26gt;





The href should be the real location of your favicon.ico file





http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/fav鈥?/a>





This method requires changes to every page on your website whereas the first method does not - use the first method if possible and if your web server allows. You will literally see this working straight away if you upload to your root directory and your webserver allows it.|||the main folder. under favicon.ico
