After being converted to tabbed browsing in Mozilla (Chimera, too) I've found the little <a href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/favicon.shtml" target="_blank">FavIcons</a> some sites display very useful in a narrow tab.

I'd, of course, like my sites to have one too.

I tried GraphicConverter, but it doesn't seem to do these yet. Any software out there you know of that saves me a trip to the nearest PC (VPC doesn't count <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )

Thanks,

as the site says, GraphicConverter works just fine. For some reason I thought it *wasn't* supposed to be .ICO, but that's the format allright.

.ICO files are a windows file format, developed for IE, but Mozilla will render them. The best bet, is to use both a PNG and a ICO file with the following code:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">&lt;link rel=&quot;shortcut icon&quot; href=&quot;./images/gso.ico&quot; /&gt;
&lt;link rel=&quot;icon&quot; href=&quot;images/mozilla-16.png&quot; type=&quot;image/png&quot; /&gt; </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">(it will validate then)
