Since
Favicon.ico files are not server-dependent, they can work on your
Aplus.Net webpage as long as the web browser supports Shortcut icons. To set up a shortcut icon on your site, you may follow these instructions:
Ensure
your Icon is the correct size and format:
Internet
Explorer and Netscape will not accept a shortcut icon unless it is
16 x 16 pixels, and in the proper .ICO format. Several programs are
available for download on the internet to create proper .ICO files
for use as a shortcut icon. Try searching for an “icon editor” from
C|Net’s download.com for some free programs.
Upload
the Icon to the proper place on your webpage:
Uploading
the icon file as “favicon.ico” to: http://www.my-domain-name.com/favicon.ico will automatically associate
your webpage and any saved favorites/bookmarks with your customized/designed
icon.
If
you would like to store your icon under a different location or name,
you must specify the location in the <head> tag of your HTML
like so:
<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.my-domain-name.com/my-customized-icon-name.ico">
<title>Webpage title here.</title>
</head>
Of course in this example you would
replace “my-domain-name.com” with your own domain name
and “my-customized-icon-name.ico” with your actual icon
filename/location.
