Favicon question

[towelk]

Search favicon generator in google, there are a lot of services out there that can do it for you

Indeed... I found one which works very well.

Code:

and this
http://iconverticons.com/

I have the same issue. How to convert .jpg to .ico, will renaming it is good enough to make it work? My .jpg image is large around 800x600 and I wonder if renaming it directly to .ico will work or is there any converter that will convert .jpg into .ico format.

I'm new here and want to help you.
You can use IrfanView to convert your image to 16x16 pix, you must Decrease Color Depth to 16 color and save it as *.ico
(Image->Decrease Color Depth in IrfanView.

Thanks... Will look into this, though I found a good online base converter. But, it's good to have more than one solution, in case the other ceases to work.
