Favicons are those little icons that websites display in the address bar (or in the open tab in Chrome).

You can get plugins for photoshop that will let you save files as “.ico” files so you can create a favicon.ico file. Then you can upload your file to your website and link to it and… well it’s easy, but kind of annoying to get right.
