We’ve all seen them, even if you don’t realize what they are - favicon’s. They are the icon that replaces the generic document image in the address bar or on the tab title when viewing a site, and are used as the icon image when you save a bookmark or link to a site.
I wandered across a fairly new site, genfavicon.com that lets you create your own custom favicon file in minutes. I used the logo image from my site here and created the favicon.ico file in about three minutes. It is a pretty slick, very easy to use, straight-forward site. Just one page, that is all it needs and that is all it gives you.
You have two option to get your image in to their web-based editor - link to an existing image (that you have the right to use) online, or upload from your computer. In my case, I right-clicked on my logo image, selected Copy Image Location and posted it in the URL box under Step 1.
