Of course, you will want to create a favicon for your own sites. Favicons are in a special .ico image format that is not natively supported by Photoshop. This article has a good explanation of how to download a Photoshop plugin that lets you save favicons in .ico format using Photoshop.
If you don't have Photoshop, you can still create favicons by using a variety of website services that convert standard .jpg, .gif, or .png image files into .ico format. For example, here is one such site.
To use your favicon once you have created it, make sure the file is named favicon.ico, and put it in the root folder of your website. Then add the following code into the <head> of your XHTML code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="./favicon.ico" />
