Favicon's in a SharePoint Master Page

Favicon's are 'Custom Icon for your websites'. When you hit your portal address on the browser the favicon file appears in the address bar.A Favicon is a multi-resolution image included on nearly all professional developed. Now, how do you do this in SharePoint? Here are my steps

  1. Create a image of size 16x16 using any icon creator tool.
  2. Drag a favicon.ico file to the Images directory of your MOSS site with SharePoint designer.
  3. Add the following line to your Master Page at the bottom of the head section right before the /head tag: (link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico")
  4. Check-in, publish, and approve your Master Page so that anonymous folks can see the change.
  5. Refresh the site, and you should see the favicon
  6. This site will create a .ico image for you.For more details:http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/
