Favicons are nifty 16x16 icons that appear next to the sites url in the browser and in your bookmarks. It works in Firefox, but not in I.E (v6) unfortunately. You can also drag and drop the icons of your favourite sites onto your browser this link goes between the <head> tags of a web page, or in the blog/forum header. Some Novelty Favicons Download zipDownload Shapes (zip)I've made a set of 20 blank glasy-looking favicons that can be downloaded hereI just use gifs for my favicons, but if you want to convert them to ico files, here are some ways to go about it. IrfanView can convert images into icos. You can download an ico converter plug-in for photoshop and Paint Shop Proor use this Online FavIcon Generator

Thanks, Nya and Smangii ;D I downloaded I.e 7 Beta last week and it looks like Interent Explorer users will be able to use favicons again. They need to be saved as .icos though, whereas in firefox you can save them as gif's and pngs. I like the snail too. i even made a t-shirt with the snail ;D

My I.E doesn't perform that great either. I had to uninstall the beta version it after about a day. Funny think is though, the favicons seem to work in I.E 6 now ;d don't know why that is, but i'm not complaining ;D

Yeah my IE seemed to have gotten worse after I downloaded FF which I got because IE was messing up.

i used to use IE, then i went to FF, then now FF is screwing up, so I switched to Opera a few days ago. SO far no problems. I heard that IE 7 has tab browsing, is it true? I absolutely LOVE tab browsing...that's why i liked FF at first. Now it doesn't work for gfx, so i switched to Opera (which has tab browsing too).
Btw, M@ that t-shirt is the CUTEST!!!

Photobucket doesn't support ico. files, unfortunately. ripway.com supports them though. Also it might take a while for the favicon to work properly, they can be a bit temperamental.
