how do sites add an image to the page title when it is saved in my favorites?

Assuming you mean the custom graphic next to the URL in the browser, 
check out www.favicon.com for further details.

For it to show up in IE (as you said 'favourites' I'm assuming that
you're using IE) then the server has to have a file called 'favicon.ico'
in their document root (i.e. the URL of the file would be
http://www.domain.tld/favicon.ico)

For it to show up in all browsers, you should use the following in your
HTML:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

The file format is the same as a standard Windows icon file.
