1. Create a 2 image favicon.
One icon 32x32 and the other icon being 16x16.
Both 256 colors (stick to Windows Default Palette).
Reason: In some browsers, you can drag the favicon to the desktop where it becomes a link.
Often, this desktop icon is 32x32 pixels.
2. Name your file 'favicon.ico'.
Reason: Some browsers search for this file by default.
Place the favicon at the highest level of your site (in directory of your default web page)
4. Use the LINK tag on every page:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/favicon.ico">.
Reason: Some browsers will not attempt to retrieve the favicon unless there is a LINK tag such as the one above.
