My friend and co-author Sandy Beadle wrote a few weeks ago and suggested I create a tutorial on how to create favicons. What the heck are favicons?, I wondered. I looked the word up in Wikipedia and discovered that I (and probably you) already know what they are. They are those little icons or images that appear just to the left of the web address in your web browser. Of course, favicons (how did they come up with that name?). I would have called them site icons, or siticons. Oh, well, they never consulted me.

Anyway, after investigating, I found a free website that would turn whatever image file you have into one of thse little puppies. It’s cool. Visit:
http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ and follow the instructions. I just made my first one for one of my new websites and it was fast and easy. No need for a tutorial.

See you can learn something new every day. Thanks Sandy. Thanks Chami.com.
