Saturday, July 21, 2012 0 comments
Every big website has an icon or image associated with it. This is what makes the website unique and gives it its identity. Look at Facebook. It has the 'f' icon, which is immediately recognizable. Google has the 'g' icon, and so on. These icons are displayed on browser tabs right next to the page title, and are known as favicons. In essence, these favicons are a means of branding your blog. Every blog or website needs to have a brand. Without a brand, a blog has no credibility. It's a small, but essential step you need to take. In fact, it is one of the first steps you need to take when you start a blog or website.

You might think these icons appear automatically or something, but they don't. You need to manually create a favicon from your logo, and then add it into your template. Luckily, there are tonnes of tools that can help you create a favicon for your site. So here goes an insanely huge list of many such tools! :).

This is just a simple favicon pixel-by-pixel editor. Throw in 16 million colors though, and you have yourself quite a treat! This is one of the few editors that offers the complete set of RGB colors.
