See that icon at the top left of this window? The little green speech bubble? I'm trying to get one of my own icons on my own html page. I tried different codes from other help sites, but none of them work. I already have an icon (.ico) made, I even named it favicon like the other sites said to do. Still not working. (P.S. I have Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Safari.)
 
That icon is called a 'favicon' and there are a couple of ways to add one to your site.

The best way is to add this code to <head> element in your html document:
Code: 
<link rel="icon" 
      type="image/png" 
      href="http://example.com/myicon.png">

You can use either a png, gif or ico file, and name it and place it where you'd like.

The other way is to simply name your icon 'favicon.ico' and place it in the root directory on your website's server. I'm not sure that all browsers display it this way.
