Just wanted to put a note to a pretty good Photoshop extension that I found as I was looking for tools to create .ico files (favicons) for my web sites. Here’s a link to download the extension from Toby Thain: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/#icoformat, all it is is a simple file that you copy into the “File Formats” folder inside your Photoshop Plugins folder.

Now when you create a new icon, which is a 16px x 16px icon you can save as .ico file format in Photoshop. As to where to put this file, simply name this file favicon and drop it into the root of your web site folder.

For Wordpress, you will want to drop this into your wp-content/themes/themeName folder.

For Magento, you will want to drop you favicon file in the root Magento folder as well as: skin/frontend/default/themeName if you want to add the favicon to the admin page you will drop it here: skin/adminhtml/default/ThemeName
