Favicon
Ever since Safari was released a handful of days ago, Mac related newsgroups, mailing lists and forums have lit up with messages penned by dogged IE users suddenly confronted for the first time by that little 16x16px graphic in the location bar known as a web site's favicon.
"What is it?" "How do I configure Apache to show them?" "How do I create one?" "Where do they come from?"
If you fall into this camp (it's okay, don't be shy), head over to Favicon.com for a quick FAQ about the little buggers. I recommend using Graphic Converter to export your dinky masterpiece.
Update: Railhead Design has posted a detailed favicon tutorial using IconBuilder Pro. Even if you don't have the app, the steps apply to just about any graphics editing application that can export Windows icons.

It might bode well to check out my friend Toby Thain's slick as a whistle .ico plug-in for Photoshop.
