The new Google Sites has just released the ability for users to update the favicon. This is a good practice to do with your websites because it affects usability.
A favicon is an icon associated with a particular website which is displayed in the address bar of a browser or next to the site name in a user’s list of bookmarks. It helps usability dramatically because when people have multiple tabs open, it provides a simple visual image to identify the site you are on.
It also shows up when you create a bookmark of the site – you’ll notice the Learning Architects favicon on this website, as well as our public website.
This image shows you where to go in your Google Sites to add a favicon. It accepts these files types: JPEG, PNG, GIF, ICO, TIFF, BMP, or WEBP file. The good thing about this is you don’t have to resize the image before uploading, the Site does this for you.
