FavIcon from Pics

Some sites (not this one though) have a custom icon to the left of the URL in the web browser's address bar. This is called a FavIcon and comes from the favicon.ico file in the website's directory. Creating the little ico file can be tricky, but the FavIcon from Pics site turns this into a simple process. Click the browse button on the web page to search for a suitable image on your hard drive, upload it to the web site, press the generate button, and then save the favicon.ico file back to your local hard drive. Then, copy that to your web site's host, and you are done.
