Use FavIcon’s on your websites and forums to improve the overall branding, color coordination and professionalism of your site’s. FavIcon’s are the little image displayed inside the URL bar in your web browser. They are also visible in favorite lists and tabbed windows. Adding a FavIcon catered towards your website or forum is simple. Create an image based off your site’s logo, color scheme or some other image with equal height and width dimensions then upload it at this site to create a FavIcon automatically. After uploading your image you’ll be able to see a preview and/or choose to save the FavIcon to your computer. After you’ve made one you like and saved it to your computer you should be able to open up the folder to view the favicon.ico file inside the folder. Now ftp into your site and upload the favicon.ico file to the root of your website and refresh your browser. You should now see the FavIcon inside the URL bar on the left hand side.

I previously had to use a photoshop plugin to do this, but after finding this site I have since saved a bunch of time. This is a quick way to further improve your website’s branding and professionalism without doing a lot of work. (And yes, I know this site does not have a FavIcon yet, although I will be changing my header image and adding a FavIcon really soon.)
