Nov292007Easy Favicon Maker

Have you every wanted a favicon for your web site? (A favicon is the custom icon that appears in bookmarks, favorite lists, and the location bar of most Web browsers. On this site it’s a round circle with SM in it–yeah, I know it’s hard to read.)

Now you can take any PNG, JPEG or GIF file and have it converted automatically into a favicon thanks to GenFavicon, a site which lets you upload and crop an image. The site then converts the image into the proper .ico format. At that point you, upload the file (favicon.ico) to the root folder of your site and add <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/favicon.ico” /> to the <head> area of your home page.

Couldn’t be simpler…and it’s free.
