How do you generator favicon (16×16 icon)? Like what I have done previously, I use Photoshop to draw the image, and then I use IrfanView software to convert this image to .ico format. Actually you don’t need to follow my step, there is an online tool which allows you to create favicon from the image. Once you are done, you can download your icon in .ico format. That’s easy and save time.
In order to display the favicon in your website or blog, first you need to upload your icon to the server and enter the following code between and in your HTML. (change the url and icon name to your own)
<link href=”http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico” rel=”shortcut icon” />

This online tool called Imo.im is totally useful to me. Imo.im provides one login for all your 4 IMs (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and Google Talk). You can log in all the account at one time. Currently I’m using MSN and Google Talk to chat with my friends only. I like to use Imo.im now because I can chat with all my friends in one interface only.
