Convert favicons online

I occasionally have the need to create favicons—the 16×16 pixel image that appears in the address bar of your browser when you visit a website. But not often enough to pay for a PhotoShop plugin to create them. So I was happy to find iConvertIcons.com, which both sells a plugin for Mac and PC and also allows one to convert an icon online. Just upload your graphic in the appropriate format (I uploaded a PNG), and the website allows you to download the .ICO file in return. Easy peasy!

Jennifer Petkus divides her time between writing Jane Austen-themed mysteries, creating websites for the dead, woodworking, aikido and building model starships. She has few credentials, having failed to graduate from the University of Texas with a journalism degree, but did manage to find employment at the Colorado Springs Sun newspaper as a cop reporter, copy editor and night city editor before the paper died in 1986. She has done little since. Her husband is the night editor at The Denver Post. Her best friend is a cop. She watched Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon live. She is the author of, Good Cop, Dead Cop: A Novel about the AfterNet. She’s writing the sequel, The Background Noise of Souls, and another AfterNet related story, Jane Austen’s Book Tour.
