Heres a trick I stumbled on. Making favicons with photoshop or one of those online utils can be a really slow process, and a lot of the time it is hard to tell before you start whether an image will work at 16x16 pixels. Heres a quick way. Make a fairly small version of the image. I made on at 50x50 pixels (it was originally gonna be an avatar). Host it on a page on its own. Then bookmark it and put it on the bookmarks toolbar in FF. Firefox makes a 16x16 version for you. Then do a screen grab and cut out the icon, and save as favicon.ico enjoy!

Stop all those favicon 404s
[webmasterworld.com...] I've been obsessing over favicons these days. So much so, that some of the sites I manage now have a library of favicons that apply to different sections of the site, http vs https, etc. There are a plethora of online tools that allow you to generate favicons on the fly. And, you can even do animated image and text versions. :)
