Now that Google is allowing you to embed third-party content into your Google Site, it’s time to update your site with a custom favicon. The favicon is that little icon that appears in your browser tab next to the title of a website. This week Google announced that you can now customize your site’s favicon. Directions for adding a custom favicon can be found here. If you don’t see the feature right now, you will see it within the next couple of weeks.
