Re: Little icons
you need to get some icon creation software and create yourself and icon that is 16x16 pixels (pretty small), some software allows you to import images and will resize it as best it can. Save the icon as favicon.ico and upload to your website root or the directory where your page is. Otherwise you can tell a browser where to find it by adding the following code to the HEAD part of your page:
Code:
 <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Modify the href= bit to point to wherever you file is. Then load your page in a browser to test!

Re: Little icons
they're called favicons (fav-eye-cons) and they are quite good to make websites stand out especially in your bookmarks/favourites folders

you need to have a program that can make icons which are 16x16 pixels and to link them to your site, you first need to upload your icon to your webspace and add this line of code to your HTML in the head tag:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yourpage.com/favicon.ico">

yourpage.com is the name of your page, and favicon.ico is the name
of the file, it is a good idea to call it favicon, as the browser will recognise
it as a favicon

I found a good free online icon maker here:
http://www.favicon.co.uk/

all you ever wnated to know about favicons here:
http://www.favicon.com/

hope this helps

EDIT: free icon software: http://www.iconutils.com/iconomaker/

Re: Little icons
I'll just add that you can make icons is sizes other than 16x16 (say 32x32) and Mozilla & Firefox browsers will automatically resize them.
IE based browsers probably won't show them at all.
