    that is called a favicon. Find an image you want to use and go to http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

    Hope this helps

    some times the fav icon doesnt update in the address bar. Im using Opera and I used to have a favicon link in my website page, but removed it after a few days of havign that page up, and the fav icon still shows even though it isnt even on the server anymore.

    since your using FF, open the website up in IE, it should show up

    Support of favicon is uneven. Follow the recommendations from http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ and hope for the best.

    As a side note, I master a few sites. I like the favicon concept and have created favicons for the sites I master. They show up most of the time in most browsers. Other than that, I don't worry about it.

    How this works: If you have a site, you can make an image. Use some sort of software that turns an image into an 'icon' file, also know as .ico. Once you make it, save the icon as favicon.ico. Put it in the directory of the main 'index.html' folder of your website via ftp / php uploader your hoster provides. It should be 16*16 pixels wide, and it should show up in the address bar to the left in the address bar of your web browser.

    I also agree that you use Dynamic Drive's Favicon Generator previously provided: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

    Anyone/everyone, please criticize me if I am incorrect.

    I would use the link provided for the favicon generator, but if for some reason you want to make a ".ico" file later on that isn't web related I would recommend IrfanView, it's a great image viewer / manipulator.

    Not that it matters, but...
    It doesn't need to be called favicon.ico. As long as you link it properly, you can call it whatever you want. For that matter, it doesn't even need to be an .ico file. Most (though not all) modern browsers support image file types to be used as favicons.
