Should I use a Favicon?
Favicons provide a visual way of identifying a site or brand. Favicons should not be taken lightly. They are an excellent way to help create brand awareness of your website, bring visitors to your website, and to keep bringing them back again. Most peoples bookmarks / favourites list is a very cluttered place. Having yours stand out with a nice graphical reminder of your site beside it is a good way to get their attention again.

Favicons are images like any other. In actual fact they are a normal icon file 16x16, with a .ico extention. You can create a favicon using many of the icon creators available, or use your favourite graphics package. Most will have the ability to create favicons.
