You're thinking of "favicon.ico", which is an IE 4+ feature. Make a bmp, size 32x32 (I think?), name it favicon.ico and drop it into your web root. Should do the trick.
go to [favicon.com...] . all your answers are there. be sure to pay attention to the glitchs that are addressed. while using a favicon is not harmful, it can be a bit buggy.
<title>Your Title</title>
It goes in the <head> tag of your HTML. The actual icon file goes in the same directory your index.html file is in. Hope this helps!

I dont think it's necessary to add any code at all, as most browsers automatically check for them (that's actually why I made one -- to get those errors out of my log) but if you want, you can add something like this to your <head>:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Actually, most browsers other than IE also display the favicon in the address bar on the left hand side of the url.
IE will too. You just have to reach up there in the address bar and shake that little IE logo with your mouse pointer.

How do I fashion my site to do the same for people who add me?
for this, favicon.com will provide all the how-to's.
thanks for the sponsored link, but I'm still just looking for the actual html code to have my page normally display something like "goldfish", but in someone else's links, the shortcut would say "your mom" or something... and if I could have an icon showing Elvis or whatever, that'd be cool too...
if you are looking for a way to change the standard IE icon, look for a program called 'Internet Explorer Personalizer'. if you want your own favicon for sites in your favorites list, you will have to change the default IE icon throughout, but this will change ALL your icons. you can make the shortcut name anything you want when you save the bookmark, or by right-clicking on the shortcut and changing the name.
What is the world coming to when IE is remembered for favicon and NN for <blink>?
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
(note the slash in red).
This will make Mozilla, Opera, etc use the IE default favicon. You can, of couse, call the icon something else with these browsers or put it in different directory that the web root. Just change "/favicon.ico" to whatever you want.
