Simon, I thought Alasdair meant the Favicon, like here on RW101 we have a little picture of Pants. If that was what you meant, then you can find lots of information here.

As far as I can tell, you just need to put a 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64 favicon.ico file in the root directory of the site.

I agree with Scott, you'll need to use a free favicon editor, there are plenty of them. Either imported an existing image or make your own icon from scratch.

Try http://www.webscriptlab.com/favicongenerator.php It takes an existing file and converts it to a favicon for you, I've just tested it and it's free.

I actuallyused that, but it is the website maker that is not letting me!

I am thinking of making a better one on wix or something.

Just a warning when going to a Wix.com made website, it can take up alot of CPU as it uses only Flash. Made on myself and noticed that on older computers or small laptops that they slowed down.

If that's the case then it won't be searchable either.
