I realize I'm probably asking a dumb question and that I've always been a PC user but I like having shortcuts on my desktop to websites that I check daily. I can't find how to make an icon that launches the particular website. Please don't laugh even though I know I'm a dummy :D
 
Just drag:

You can drag URL's from the address bar to your desktop or alternatively to the bookmarks bar.

Edit : Beaten to it, twice!
 
Awesome!!!!!! Thank you so much, this was a big deal to me!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Everyone!!
 
Next dumb question, how do I edit the icon to make it be something I like? and the name shows with the extension, not crazy about that.
