FavIcon from Pics is another good site.

And of course Microangelo Toolset

 

Thanks for posting those links guys, I'm sure alow of people will find them very useful. Green points for you both.

 

I use http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ which Corey posted.

It allows you to create a fixed favicon from an image, or have it scrolling, or also add scrolling text to it.

 

Corey.... very useful favicon creation site. Thanks for the link!

 

wow thanks for the links. I never thought of making one of these. Is it possible to add this to a blogger blog? How do I upload the file to blogger?

 

Thanks guys...really useful info and website too

 

I prefer work on my PC using this software recommended by Google's Guru Mat Cutts:

Green Rep is always welcome

 

You might try this way:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="path_to_your_image/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />.  

Code (markup):

Where path_to_your_image is the address of the location where you uploaded your favicon.

 

Just in case you will find this useful,
I am using Dynamic Drive to create favicons easily.

 

thanks but how do i upload the file to my blog? where?

 

Upload it to the /images folder, assuming that you're going to add the following code in the header

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Code (markup):

 

I'm using a blogger blog so I dont have that option.

 

You mean you can't add that line to the header?
No access to the template? Hosting your blog on a free blogging site?

 

fav icons are great, i use a chap called guy dub who rocks when it comes to creative design. Favicons really are the icing on the cake!!

 

I do have access and I know how to add the line to the header but how do I upload the file?

 

Using a FTP flient?
Via online File Manager?
