How do I make my own icon appear in the address bar and favorites menu?

First, you have to create a 16x16 pixel ico file. Get an icon editor or use Windows' native Paint program.

You can make a default icon for your whole site by naming it favicon.ico and putting it in your root web directory. Or you can make a per-page icon by using a link tag:
[tt]
<HEAD>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://domain.com/icon.ico">
<TITLE>My Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
[/tt]
I believe that your visitors must add your site to their favorites before they will see the icon appear in the address bar or the favorites menu.
