I do. Older versions of IE always looked for a favicon. I'm not sure about newer versions. Favicons are technically valid now according to those who set the 'rules', so if you want one you should do some searching for info about them. You'll find there are ways to get almost any image turned into a favicon if you want, and you'll find the code to make them happen.
The second one is technically not good because it's two words - "shortcut icon", and you do NOT have to name your favicon "favicon.ico". I use both and I use that 'official' name to humor old IE installations. Oh it goes in the head section of your page, which means you would add it to your skins/skinname/_main.php file.
