You know those little logos on the far left side of the address bar in practically any browser. I am wondering how it is possible for one to have a symbol/logo like that displayed on the web when someone vists my page. Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Thank you,

it's called a favicon.
it will only work if you have your own domain, not a subdomain or directory.
all you need to do is make a 16x16 (or 32x32) icon, rename it 'favicon.ico' and upload it in your /home/usr/html directory.
Create an Icon (Easy now that there are apps like AveIconifier 2 
) that is 16x16 and save it as favicon.ico in the root directory of your website.
Note: If you'd made a search in google for website icon or favourites icon you would have got tons of sites saying what I just said.
Additional Note: You can get them to work wherever your site is by adding a Meta tag but I can't remember it of the top of my head.

Thank you very much!
About using meta tag to add fav ico, just see the source of my site, and I think its work with subdomain too.
Although Internet Explorer doesn't always display them! What an awful browser...
Here's the code; it goes in the Head section:
You can use whatever name you want if you include that code. If you have favicon.ico, without that code, the browser should pick it up automatically.
Hope this helps!

If you do this it'll work in more browsers:
