Thread: How do you make that little graphic...

to the left of your website name when it is in an open tab? Like the little gold bug that bhuz has.
I know that there was a thread on this a while back but I can't find it.

It's called a favicon. Do you have photoshop?

Generally you put it in the directory where you put your html files, especially your index file. You may need to read the FAQ for your particular hosting service though.

I made the graphic, but I have not been successful in getting it to work either. :(

do you have it up? what's your website address? maybe you need to clear your cache before you can see it.

ETA: here's the instructions I used for mine: Favorites Icon | Favicon.ico: the Internet Explorer bookmark icon, microsoft ie5, microangelo || HTMLSource ]
