A very sweet little FavIcon generator, which will take any graphic and turn it into a FavIcon, which then can be displayed (in most browsers) in the favorites lists, tool bars, address lists, etc. Coolness.
Now, I wonder what I can use that for ...

Note that if your source image is not already square, it will reshape it for you. That may or may not be what you want, of cojnurse.
I'm confused. Everything I read indicates I should be able to point individual pages to any favicon file (of whatever name I want) anywhere -- in the file's directory, in the root, wherever. Instead, the only icon that shows up is the favicon.ico file in my root (/public_html/), i.e., a single site-wide icon.
Which beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but ...
Of course, for all I know, this is some annoying IE6 thang. Urg.
Some possibly-contradictory info in this discussion.
It certainly looks like every browser kind of does its own thing with this stuff. Which is okay (well, not really, but at least livable), but I still can't get a straight answer about IE6, which is what I use. Rrg.
Hmmm, that does raise the question, though, for my studio audience: if you see an icon in the address bar, for example, for this page (or for the main page) -- is it a DDtB icon, or an HK icon? Or just the standard default one? And, if so, what browser are you using?
Yeah, I noticed that, too. I need to come up with something and then play with location.
I see HK, myself (slimbrowser/IE6 engine, as you know).
Yes.
As far as I can determine, IE (at least IE6) ignores LINK REL statements (which let pages point to their own favicons), and simply looks at what's in the root. Tools like Faviconizer will refresh what IE sees cached as icon files, but it will not override that behavior.
Drat.
So everything here at hill-kleerup.org will now have the stylish little HK favicon, even though there is a nice DDtB favicon being pointed to by at least the index file for this blog. Ah, well.
