Cool Favicon Tool!

Just ran across this neat online tool for making Favicons - those tiny images that display in the address bar and on bookmarks on many web browsers. This page lets you design your own from scratch or import a graphic (like your logo) and convert it.

Favicon Generator

In case you're not familiar with their use, you add a Favicon to your HTML page by inserting the following code within the head of your document:

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Note that your image must be named favicon.ico

      A website should always have a favicon since its a file all web browsers look for. Helps cut down on the missing file reports in the stats, and it looks good.

        This accepts any dimensions for the input image right?
        But one should uncheck the
        Maintain Image Dimensions (don't resize to 16x16 pixel square)

        for this tool to properly work on your favicon?
        Yes, that's correct -a favicon is 16 x 16. I think the checkbox allows you to preserve the original aspect ratio,so the best bet would be to start with a square image in the first place.
