Interesting! I’m going to try this myself and see if I can make a favicon for the sites I’m handling lately. I’m sure this will impress my boss. Thanks and I wish you all the best. Wow! Interesting!

For example could just as easily save your favicon as a .png, .gif, or .jpg and it will show up fine. The favicon gallery at <a href="http://www.favtastic.com" rel="nofollow">favtastic.com</a> has plenty of favicons on it that aren't just .ico images. Check it out.

I recently found this online generator to make my favicons--- <a href="http://www.quickfavicon.com" rel="nofollow">Quick Favicon</a> There are a lot of them out there.

I also recommend Irfan View <a href="http://www.irfanview.com" rel="nofollow">Irfan</a> And if you can manage to find the free version of "Faststone" (not free anymore) which I have.

I've always wondered how to make those things – didn't even know what it was called. Been wanting to get a favicon for my site for ages – just didn't know how to do it, or where to find one. It would be good if someone could post how you could edit this for wordpress – that would be awesome. Ah, thanks so much for that!

It's FREE and you can copy and paste and it resizes the logo to fit. You can create 16 x 16, 32 x 32, and 48 x 48. It's the bomb. You can download it at http://www.x2studios.com/index.php?page=products&id=11. The best thing I've found. I use Fireworks to draw it up and then paste it in to there.
