  1. convert jpg or gif using online "favicon.ico" generator.
  2. upload to root directory

FYI - I learned yesterday that Joomla requires a PNG, not an ICO file for this.

16 x 16 might be tough to make out the detail tough.

We'll know it's you if you're wearing your new hat, Gilligan...

you can do it in photoshop... just go to save as and in quotes type "favicon.ico" and it will save it as an icon file.

then upload to the root dir.

i have also found it helps to put

Code:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico">
in the head

Hopefully they can win a few more games!!

Clear your cache - favicon in da' haus...

Eli - FF doesn't need that, does IE7 need that? Historically IE hasn't displayed them.

Is that the little icon we used to have instead of the stupid default IE icon next to the addres up there? Caus eI used to have one, and I use IE (not 7 here at work) and then it went away, but now it is not back...just curious
