Where does Safari pull these Bookmark Icons from for sites? I would love to create one for my site!

Well, this is what I did. First, you'll have to create an icon, then create .icn file. Then, you'll have to add the appropriate code to your html.
Create an icon in Photoshop, or some graphics software, then save it as a gif or something. Then open it in an editor like Iconographer (get it from versiontacker) and save it as an .icn file.
The code should look like this, and should be in the head:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="iconname">
Hope this helps!

I believe they're called Favicons or something like that.
I don't believe they're standard HTML, but many browsers can use them. I don't know more about how to code for them, but somebody around here will...

When you test these - note that clearing the cache won't clear these icons so if you change yours it doesn't show up.
you instead need to dump
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.WebKit/Icons

Its funny. Mozilla has had this forever and now that Safari has it as well, people come out in groves wondering what favicons are. Makes you wonder how many people that claimed to be IE free actually used it still

Millenium or one of the other OS X mods should put a sticky at the top of this forum with information on favicons and Safari modifications - link underlines, minimum font size, debug menu - so we don't get 12,000 threads on them. Maybe put one in the Lounge, too.

It seems that Chimera will only look for favicons if they're in the document root of the server and named favicon.ico .
Also, IIRC the standard format of these files is a windows icon file (.ico; mime-type: image/x-icon) at 16x16 ...

Yeah, I've noticed many browsers actually request this file every time they hit a page. As a result, if your site doesn't provide one, you're left with a web server log full of 404 errors for favicon.ico. Not fun
