Transparent Favicon
If you are using Photoshop then there is a useful free plugin which you can install from http://www.telegraphics.com
Create a new document in Adobe Photoshop. Make it 16 by 16 pixels and set the background to transparent.
Click the zoom tool several times, this will allow you to use the brush tool at a setting of 1px for detailed design. Get creative and design the favicon for your site.
When you have finished creating your favicon, choose Save As from the File menu and if the plugin has been installed correctly you will have a .ICO filetype listed. Save it as favicon.ico and you’re done!
A nice little touch to your site
