Ok...it's real easy. Follow the below simple steps to generate your own favicon for your web site.
Step-1
Open up your favorite Paint Program. We prefer Paint Shop Pro because it has lots of features. We don't need anything too fancy so start a new file and open it with the size of 100 x 100 pixels. Remember the finished Favicon will be displaying at 16 pixels by 16 pixels. Once you got a design that you want make the Favicon, save it to your hard drive...and please remember where you saved it to. Save it with any name and use .jpg .gif or .bmp format.
