I've noticed that many websites have a custom icont next to their URL in the address bar. What is the code to add that custom icon and where do I place it in the code? I'm not a computer programmer, I just have a personal bulletin board so I want a custom icon, so please make it easy to understand.
And please do not ask me questions back, Yahoo won't let me reply to my own question. Thanks!

These are good answers. It's a favicon. You need to make a picture that's 16 X 16 pixels and save it as a .ico file. then import the file into your web folder. Also your web host has to be able to support the .ico extension. And then put that code into the html header of each of your pages.

Place this code in the HEAD section of your HTML code. Replace "youricon.ico" with the name of the file that you want to use for your icon.

you need to add a header in the html code (header) like this:
where the .ico file is in the icon format
In any case, recent browsers read automatically the favicon.ico file if it's present in the same folder of the page.
