August 31, 2006 by Russ

Pop quiz: how many of you know what a favicon is? 

No, it isn’t a type of Star Trek convention.  Actually, as a websurfer, you’ve probably seen hundreds of favicons.  They’re the little icons that pop up next to urls in your browser’s address bar.  The MediaFatigue favicon (or “favicon.ico file” if we want to please the sticklers) is a small blue square containing the letter M in white. 

Jennifer Apple at PhotoshopSupport.com has written a concise article on how to create favicons using Photoshop.  Find it here
