    I have a map and I want to put some circular icons on there with numbers on there like http://www.parrishkauai.com/map/map_homes.html I downloaded RealWorld Icon Editor, but can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any ideas? Thanks,

    If you'll be using the icons in a web page, then you don't need an icon editor, because you don't have save the files as ".ico". Any image editor is good (save the files as png, gif or jpg).

    Also, I recommend you creating one single image representing the circle and put the text in front of it right in the web page (using html and css). The image will be assigned from css as background.

    Grab the demo of Sib icon studio... it find it easiest to work in vector, then... wait... it's easier than that for ya. you'er using numbers or whatever, just save your image file at aroun26x26, import to your icon editor (import, open external file, whatever they call it.) and then export the .ico... There are a couple .ico export plugins for photoshop there as well.

    Save the files as gifs... It'll probably go smoother for you if you do.
    ...EDIT:

    Checked the site, they're just gif images I think, save some gifs and use them as bullets, the site you're showing, it looks like they've got them as just a whole crap load of premade graphics, and not as a bg graphic (of a circle) and then the link bullets (numbers) posted on top.

    So yeah, don't worry about the icon editor, jsut save some gif files with numbers, organize your css so they look like bullets and then create a folder with about 99 different numbered images. And you'll have exactly what they have there.
