Author "Drag and drop this icon" in url bar -- How to display icon on my site?

The message "Drag and drop this icon to create a link to this page"
appears in the top left corner of the address window of many sites. For
instance, Google's site shows a "G" in the address window.

How do I create my own icon to display in the address bar on my site?

Thanks.

Thanks, Brendan. That's what I was looking for. We should note that you
should save your favicon in GIF format and include the following in the
HEAD portion of your site pages:

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
