How do I get a little image to appear in the left side of my websites url when people visit my site?

Ever notice how some websites have a small little image or logo appear when you visit their site? Its on the URL all the way to the left? I have a little site and I want to get one to appear when peopel visit. So far all I have is my server logo (bluehost) and I want it gone and replaced with mine.

Sorry if this question is a little clumsy, I am not sure exactly how to phrase it.

    It’s called a Favicon, if you have a logo you can go to the Web site below and it will generate your icon file. Then, follow the directions to get it on your Web site (simply place it in the root directory and most browsers will automatically pick it up).

    If you want more advanced options, such as placing the .ico file in another directory, then you can use HTML code (placed between <head> and </head>). For example:

    <link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" href="YOUR URL HERE/favicon.ico">
