What is a Favicon?

In Short: A abbreviation of a website known as a website icon.

Some use a Favicon for fun while others use it kinda as a short brand for their site to look professional and complete. I recommend every website including blogs to have these little website icons because so many people use them while bookmarking sites and as a reference to a particular site they enjoyed.

You will find that some will bookmark a site on their toolbar which will allow your favicon to be shown as a picture for user to access your site with one easy click. Some will see a site they enjoyed and then see the logo in short and remember it the next time they see it.
