There are a couple ways. The easiest is to save your avatar in ICON format and place it in the root folder of your webserver and name it favicon.ico

If you don't have an image editor that can save your avatar to an .ico file, just use http://www.brothersoft.com/iconshop-download-286575.html and import from various formats.
