How does one make the little icon that goes to the left of the URL in the browser url menu?

For instance: the little capital T to the left of New York Times at http://www.nytimes.com

Can someone tellme how that is done and what the HTML code to insert that is, and where it goes?

thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks! lots of information there.

I found a free/shareware plug in to make the Favicons for photoshop at:

I'm still having trouble getting the Safari browswer to empty its icon cache though to view the favicons.

From Apple.com:

7. How do I add a Favicon (the small icon in the address bar)?

Putting the following lines within your <head> tag will add a Favicon to your site:

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
