Small IMG in Address Bar

How do I put a small image in the beginning of the address bar for my website domain? Preferably instructions for DW CS3.

Example: There's the vBullitin logo for this site, because it's made by vBulletin.

It's called a "favicon"

veryicon.com seems not working; I tried it with two sample pictures and just got an error message. By the way, when creating your own icon, have a look at the different specifications supported by webbrowsers. However the "worst" that could happen is that the favicon simply does not show up.

A favicon not only shows an image in the address bar.

When someone bookmarks your site and add to their favorites the image will show as well.
I think this is great because if somebody has a large list your link will stand out and be easy to recognize.

FavIcons are important. When I usually have a bunch of tabs open in FireFox, I'll recognized your site by the FavIcon I can see in that tab.

Plus, I use it to find a site I visited but can't remember in my bookmarks, and even my history.
