As far as I know you can just make a gif/jpg/bmp and rename it, though I've asked this question several times and never really gotten an answer so I'm going on rumors..

I think it just needs to be a 12 x 12 image at the root of your domain. I've never used them though so I might be wrong.

I forget how I made mine... you need one of those icon creator programs (microangelo, etc.) or else need to save as a 16 color gif and convert it over. I'm no help.
Make one though, it's cool to check your stats and realize how many folks have your shit bookmarked  |

Make your icon as a jpg, gif or bmp.
It has to be 32*32 pixels. When your done just save it as : favicon.ico and put in the root of your folder, (along with the index-file, etc) worked for me Danish Dude

All the favicon sites say you can't just rename the bmp or gif to favicon.ico, it has to be created with an icon editor, like Microangelo. So I guess when renameing works for some, it might not work on other browsers.
So why not just grab microangelo, import the image and save as ico?

Yeah, the renaming won't work--its has to be made with an icon maker
 You can download a free version of an icone maker program and make the icons, its pretty easy. I don't have the link to download right now, on my other pc.Good Luck with it
