?:?? ~ Icon not believe it's not butter!
 Small update. If you use Internet Explorer 5.0 and have this page bookmarked, you may have noticed that the Address Bar now contains the back of a Spellfire card before the http://, instead of the boring old "e" on a white background. The same will also apply to the link in your Favorites Menu. This is because of a nifty little trick I learned. Here's how to do it:

1: Make a 16x16 icon.

2: Save it in .ICO format, and name it Favicon.ico.

3: Upload it to the directory where you have your index.htm(l). Example: Mine is loacted at http://www.afn.org/~afn63169/sf/favicon.ico.

4: To test, bookmark your homepage. The icon in the address bar should change to your new icon.

Simple, eh? So, now that you know how, I'm sure you can't wait to add one to your page. But you don't want to make an icon, or whatever, right? No problem. Just download my Spllfire Favorites Icons Pack, choose one, rename it to Favicon.ico, and follow steps 3 & 4. Ta da!
