Using HTML how do you change the small icon for a website?

When editing the HTML of a website how do you change the small icon which shows up in the top of tabs in most web browsers next to the title of the website? For example Facebook has the 'F' logo, and Yahoo Answers has the little star in a green speech bubble...

Can anyone help me, please?

The small icon you see is called a favicon. It must comply the following requirements:

It should be a 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64 pixel square icon.
Mostly it should be of small size as possible.

And to reference it, you can type the following code in your "head" section of the HTML page.

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/somepath/image.png" />

Ask my next programmer to set this up.  See How To Create And Install favicon.ico (Linux,GNU,Windows,Unix)
