Creating a Favicon

In Photoshop (or whatever drawing program you have), I created a 16x16 pixel workspace. Added what I wanted in the icon (never could come up with a logo for the site, so I stuck with the m), select all (CTRL+A), copy (CTRL+C), and pasted it into the suspicious program. There, I saved it as "favicon.ico" and uploaded the file to my server.

It won't work yet. First, add a line to the of the index page. Here's the line to add using XHTML standard formatting (if you're using HTML, leave off the / at the end of the line):

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="images/favicon.html" /></xmP</p><p>If you keep the ico file in the root, then use this instead:</p><p><xmp><link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico" />

That's it. The first time you try it, nothing might happen. Give it a little bit to take effect as that's what happened with mine. You don't have to specifically create a 16 x 16 pixel image to make it into an icon with the program.
