Does anyone have an idea on how to do it and what the size dimensions are for the little image it self? I tried looking ont he forum but i didnt see a topic posted like htis one......

It's called a favicon:
[google]favicon[/google] should get you started.

• Create a 32x32 pixels icon (Win32 icon i.e favicon.ico);
• Upload it to the root of your website
• Place
Code: Select all
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" />
inside <head></head> of every page.

Yes, you can use Abode to create/edit your icon and then use any of
these programs to convert it to an icon file.
Hope this link works. If it doesn't, go to
http://www.tucows.com and search for icon on Windows section.
