Make a 16 x 16 icon or get one here. This must have a .ico extension. You can use a free cross platform application called GIMP, if you dont have any other app for this. Name your .ico file favicon.ico
Next you must upload this file to a web server. Many free web servers will not host this type of file, but Ripway.com is one that will. Create an account and upload your file. I do believe you get about 50MB, so you can use this server to hold many other things as well.
Lastly you have to edit your HTML, by adding a tag like this:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yourusername.tripod.com/favicon.ico">
between the
<head> head>
That's it! You should see you icon now in firefox bookmarks, if you did it correctly.
Note: If you have a problem in template take out the quotes "_" and replace them with the hyphen '_' thats all.
