This is one of the most looked over things in building a site.
What is a Favicon? Also called Favicon.ico
This is the little 16px by 16px icon that shows up in the address bar when you go to a site.
It also shows up in the bookmarks when you add a page to your favorites.
This a great way to enhance your site so that people will reconize you.
Well how do you make one?
For adobe photoshop there is a plugin that you can download and install that will allow you to save as a .ico file.
Go here:

For me I had to download the Windows package, which you can also get by clicking here:

Now all you have to do is extract icoformat.8bi to your plugins folder in adobe. Now the next time you start Adobe you will have the option to save, make, create, and load .ico files!
There is a little glitch with this when using Vista. I intalled it. started photoshop and it didnt work it had a little error saying I could save out.
So after searching the forums I came accross the solution. Just restart your PC and it works.
Good luck and Have fun
