I was looking to add a favicon to one of my other blogs today, and discovered the Blog Icons plugin for WordPress that lets you do it relatively painlessly.
I made a 16 by 16 pixel favicon in png format using GIMP, the open source photo manipulation program I tend to use on the MacBook Pro. You can also use Seashore, which runs in OS X without the need for the X11 Window system.
You simply need to just download the Blog Icons plugin and upload it to your plugins folder in your WordPress install. Go to you admin page and enable the plugin. Afterwards there is a new option in your settings folder for Blog Icons.
