favicon
Sometimes, we look at the browser and see something unique above the browser, left beside the address bar. That’s called favicon. It’s not necessary to make it, but for some reasons, it can raise up your webs honor and pride. See how many websites like microsoft.com and wordpress.org. They must have a favicon, because a favicon can tell you how serious they work on their website, a website that doesn’t have favicon is like an under construction website :(. Here is an example what favicon is looks like.
