How does one create and generate an icon that goes along with saving URL in my favorites (IE) for ex:
like the one generated by saving WebmasterWorld's one?

The the <head> of the page:

^^ Works in IE and Mozilla, call the icon file whatever you like, doesn't have to be "siteicon.ico"

Not sure about Mozilla, but for IE at least, another option is to just name the icon file favicon.ico in the same directory as the html page. The <link rel="shortcut icon" href="siteicon.ico"/> tag just changes the default 'favicon.ico' to some other path/name.

Note that the webserver needs to support .ico files.

Search for 'favicon' for more details.
