When you type in an address in the URL field of an internet browser and go to that website, the result puts a small icon related to that site in front of the letters http:. With CC, for example, there is a small coffee cup.
How do you do this? What code can we put in our site to get this icon? Hope this makes since.
I am using SCCP for the main site, but I will be using VSD7 to do the home page.
Icon in URL address - Post ID 145818

That is called a favicon. See http://www.favicon.cc/

Thank you Scott,
I made a favicon and put it in my root directory on the host server, but it does not show up in the URL.
Is there a special place to put it so that it gets used?

Try this in the head:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="http://www.your_site.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
file name: favicon.ico (in the root directory)

I am using SCCP, so I am not exactly sure where I am supposed to put that code? I don't think I can put code in the "head".

I think you need to bookmark the page for it to work.

That is correct. You cannot access the <head> area in SCC at this time.

So, I will have to put it in the head of the home page that I am currently trying to make with VSD7?
