Isn't it actually .com not org.

And I thought you just copied the code into your web page code.

The format is actuall several images bundled together, therefore you need a tool to make them.

Not surprisingly there is a free linux tool for making these:

Did you go to the link I gave you? It's in the FAQ. The format of a favicon.ico is basically the Microsoft ICO (ICON) format, which contains a 16x16  and a 32x32 image within the ICON.

Here's a tutorial using the "png2ico" utility which might give you a better idea of the format. If you want an even deeper idea of the format, look at the source to "png2ico".

Like Tux mentioned in the previous message.

You mean IE isn't the only browser that supports them?
