Tab icons or "Favicons"

posted Mar 17, 2010 11:25 PM by Tania Smith   [ updated Mar 28, 2010 12:56 PM ]
FYI I changed some of your EC team management sites' Tab icons so that I could distinguish your sites from each other in browser tabs.  I also changed our own website's tab icon to this:



Google Sites enables you to choose the Tab icon, or "FAVICON," that appears on browser tabs, like the Bb icon on a Blackboard tab. 

How?

Favicons can be generated by
  1. Creating a very simple image
  2. Processing it through a favicon generator like http://www.favicon.co.uk/
  3. Uploading it into the site. Click the "More Actions" drop-down tab in the upper right, then Manage Site, and then in the "Attachments" area upload your new favicon.ico file at the top level.  It must be named exactly "favicon.ico" and be at the top level of the site.
