The Drudge Report is one of my favorite websites. I visit it multiple, multiple times each day to find out what’s going on in the world.

But there’s one thing that has always bugged me about their site. There’s no favorite icon!

I know that the Drudge Report purposely keeps their website clean and simple. In fact I can’t remember any significant changes since I started monitoring their site.

But it sure would be nice to have an icon displayed in my bookmarks.

At first I was going to hire someone at Fiverr.com to create an icon. But the artist never responded to my “gig” request.

So I decided to create it myself.

It turned out to be a SUPER simple process.

Here are the steps I took to create a favorite icon for the Drudge Report.

Step 1. I wanted to use a D as the favorite icon. It just so happens that the Drudge Report has an iPad application that uses an icon. So I simply took a screen shot of that icon and emailed it to myself.

Step 2. I opened up the screen shot using a Paint program in Windows and cropped out just the D.

Step 3. For the next step I used Google to find an online favorite icon generator. I decided to use Favicon.cc. First you click on the Import Image link and then you select your graphic to upload. The next step is to click on the Download Favicon link and save the image to your PC.

Step 4. Once you have the favorite icon, the next step is to upload it to your website, then to add a link to your HTML. The link would look similar to the code below:

Below is the icon image that was created. My dream is that Drudge would consider adding a favorites icon to their website template.
