LunarMagic Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I have been noticing that a lot of sites I go to have an icon beside their URL (I'm using Mozilla), and I would like to put one on mine. Unforutnately neither of my graphics programs (PSP and Photoshop) have the capacity for creating .ico files. Am I missing something? How is everyone creating these images?

TCH-Sales Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 What you're talking about isn't a regular icon, it's a favicon. This might be a good idea for me to go over in a tutorial.. Check out this site here, it allows you to make your own favicon online: favicon.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borfast Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Lunar Magic, if you want to do it yourself, it's quite easy. The image is not actually an icon (.ico), you just create a PNG, GIF or JPG and change it's file extension to .ico A quick Google search provided this link which seems to be good: www.basictips.com/tips/article_95.shtml Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
