As in this website (and many others) when looking at the address bar in the browser before the URL there is an icon that replaces the IE or Firefox icon.

Could someone please tell me what code I need to include and if it goes in the <head> as I want to put a customised icon there for my own site.

All help much appreciated

It's known as Favicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon),
To set custom image use
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="path-to-image" type="image/x-icon">
