Umm, sorry to go on, but I've glanced at that website link you posted, but is the only way to get 'favicon' through paying those guys or can you do it yourself?

It's free. The software can be downloaded and the code... well, you got it from us.

Irfanview can save .ico's - it's a great program and tiny in size.

AND it's FREE!

I'm glad someone asked this because I've been dying to post this link for ages... ;)

Just feed any picture you want in there, and it'll convert it to a favicon, and give you the code needed to add it to your page.
