    Ever wondered how people put some kind of logos next to url..
    Like Good-Tutorials -->
    Like Google -->

    Well it’s easy. First off create 64x64. But isn’t the size 16x16? Yes, but it’s Little easier to work on 64x64 than 16x16. Then start up doing something simple remember it can’t be very orginal just do basic like few letters not more than 3 otherwise it would be a mess and don’t ever anti-alise letter because it ruins it.. I used font called Org_v01 basic pixel font and typed ST (SecondaryTutorials) with white on black background. After you are done with it, Scale it down to 16x16 by going Image >> Resize >> Image Size.. Next save the picture (of course) on .bmp format (favicon.bmp). Then left click on the picture (in folder not in PS) change name and change .bmp to .ico .Next use some ftp-client and upload the favicon.ico to your document root. Next you should open your index.htm or any other document and look between <head> and </head>. Type between heads this row:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">. And then you are done this is my final product next to my url --&#62;

    Hey,

    You can see it in IE too. You need to drag the IE logo in the address field a few times in the adressfield itself. If you do that a couple of times. It will show up.
