Adding a Favicons are an excellent way to make your site look more polished. But, I've found making them to be a pain.
You can create them using The Gimp, or another image editing tool, but I always forget the rules behind the required format.
Favicons are small enough that you'd think just creating them by hand would be a reasonable solution. However, whenever I do this, I end up with a jagged mess of pixels.
The best solution I've found? Take a mostly square image (it can be any size, any format) and feed it into the FavIcon Generator.
More often then not, a clean, yet miniaturized version of the image is produced and you've got your Favicon. No format worries. Just drop it in place, and you're good to go.
Thanks for the post..
