Google has it, MSN has it, Yahoo has it, eBAY has it; Everybody has a custom logo at the beginning of their URL address in their browser except me.

How do I create a custom icon for my own URL adress?

thank you

You simply use a link tag in the head of your html page
<link href="[link_to_your_icon]" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon"/>

The only downside is that you have to use a 16x16 .ico file, there is a photoshop extension to convert normal image formats to .ico, there are also many online tools for converting them.

Hope this helps.
