I'm not new to web design (some small sites of my own in the past) but by no means an expert.
I'm looking for a "how to" or tutorial on how to get a little icon to show up when someone bookmarks my page or like the little "WD" on the yellow background (for the WebDeveloper site) that shows up to the left of the address in the address bar. It's probably a very simple thing, but when you don't know you just don't know.
Thanks in advance to anyone for their help!

Do a search on google for favicon.

To create an icon, open up paint, make your icon,
and save it as "favicon.ico."

-16X16 or 32X32 (as far as I know)

Upload it to your site(root dir), then add this HTML:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

viola!

(Only follow this if you're too lazy to do a google search...)
