First off… you
require an icon. I made a 32x32 [pixels] icon in Photoshop
5, you can use Paint that comes with Windows or Paintshop
Pro… most image applications ought be able to handle
this… but those are the ones I'm sure of.
Once you have your funky
design, you have to save it as an icon. To save it as
an icon… you must name it "favicon.ico"
without the quotes! This should save it as an icon.
[You can be sure its saved as an icon because if you
browse to its location on your computer the icon will
be displayed, if its not there you have got something
wrong].
All you have to do then,
is put it in the root directory of your FTP account.
Now when people bookmark your site they will get the
icon in the menu!
You can test it by bookmarking
your own site once you have uploaded it all!
Note: The icon will
only be displayed in IE5 browsers or above.
