Browsers that support them may display them in the browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface.

After you've created your favicon, it's time to add it to your site. To do so, follow the below simple procedure:
1. Upload the generated file ("favicon.ico") to your site.
2. Next, insert the below code in the HEAD section of your pages, at the very least, your site's main index page:
link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"
(Put a < before and a > after)
3. Note that your favicon may not appear immediately after you've completed the above two steps. In fact, it may take a few days, and in IE, sometimes the favicon will disappear from time to time due to a browser bug.
