As you can see, I have added a FavIcon to this site..
A Favicon is a little custom icon that appears next to a website’s URL in the address bar of a web browser. And when I say little, I mean 16 px by 16 px. You can make your own favicon in Photoshop in some very easy steps:

1. Download this Photoshop plugin, The plugin gives Photoshop the ability to directly Open and Save Windows icon (.ICO) files. Download…
2. Place the plugin in the File Format directory. [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\File Formats]
3. Quit and relaunch Photoshop, if it’s already running.
4. Create an image 16X16 pixels in Photoshop.
5. Save the image as .ico and name it favicon.

After you’ve created a neat favicon, it’s time to add it to your site. To do so, follow the below simple procedure:

6. Upload the generated file (”favicon.ico”) to your site. Verify it’s there by typing http://mysite.com/favicon.ico in the browser’s location, where “mysite.com” is your site’s address.
7. Next, insert the below code in the HEAD section of your pages:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />

8. That’s it! Note that your favicon may not appear immediately after you’ve completed the above two steps. In fact, it may take a few days, and in IE, sometimes the favicon will disappear from time to time due to a browser bu, but if your using FireFox then your favicon will be visible immediately!

PS: If your using other a program that doesn’t support saving your image as a .ico file, then you can save your image as a .gif or .png with transparency and use this Favicon Generator!
