I think these add a professional touch to websites...what programs can I use to make them?

it's just a 16x16px image saved with a .ico extension that's all, you could make one in paint if you were desperate!

I just made one for a client - I used Photoshop. My advice is, start working bigger (in a multiple of the size you ultimately want it) and then once it looks good, scale the canvas size down and save it as the .ico.

I don't have the option to save as .ico in Photoshop. Any suggestions on how to have Photoshop save as an .ico?

It says to paste this code:

If I rename my FavIcon after I download it, would I replace "favicon.ico" with my file name?
