How do I make those icons by the address bar for my website?

How do I create those little icons on the web address search bar for my personal web site? For example, Yahoo has a red “Y,” Google has the lowercase blue “g,” and Twitter has the blue highlighted “t.”

It’s a 16×16 icon (.ico) image. There are a number of icon editors available on line or you can use any graphics program that will save in .ico format. Like, you can use MS PAINT to do it:

1) Open paint
2)At top, click “Image”
3)click attributes
4)In width, and heght boxes type in height:16 width:16
5)Create your image! *paints uncontrollably*
6)Click “Save As”
7) As name type “favicon.ico”
8)Click Save!
9) upload 2 server (of course)
10) YAYS! your website looks prettiful when added as a favorite!

Then once you’ve created your favicon, you include it on your page using this snippet of HTML in the tag:

(Change “favicon.ico” to the location of your favicon of course.)
