Favicons : Demystified - One of the few things you only come across once in a while is creating a favicon. It only needs to be done once, doesn’t need any ongoing maintenance or debugging.

So this is another “remember for next time” article.

How To Create A Favicon - So what’s the trick to creating lightweight multi-size favicons? I used to use the online java tool the folks at favicon.com offered, but now they seem more concerned with making money than providing free tools.
