Hello,
I have a little question.

Does any one have any idea about small logo of a site visible at left side of browser's tab?
For example if you open yahoo.com than at left side of browser's tab
or at address bar there is a little logo appear, which looks like "Y!" <red in color>

Can any one tell me how can I add this type of logo on my site please?

Thanks
Regards

if you create a 16x16 px image in photshop and save it as a favicon.bmp (bitmap)
then once its saved change the file extention from favicon.bmp to favicon.ico and upload it to the root of your site its should work.

Of course you will need to add the necessary code to your page. Add this between your <head> and </head> tags once you've completed the stage outlined in the post above me:

[code]<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />[/code]

More clarification on different types of favicons:
    * ICO: include multiple resolutions (the most commonly used being 16×16 and 32×32, with 64×64 and 128×128 sometimes used by Mac OS X) and bit-depths (most common being 4, 8, 24 bpp—i.e. 16, 256 and 16 million colors) in the file.
    * GIF: use 16×16 in 256 colors.
    * PNG: use 16×16 in either 256 colors or 24-bit.
