Love this blog! I recently found this online generator to make my favicons--- Quick Favicon There are a lot of them out thee. I also recommend downloading The Gimp Gimp It's open source and can do just about anything Photo Shop can do. I also recommend Irfan View Irfan And if you can manage to find the free version of "Faststone" (not free anymore) which I have. These will do any novice well!

Your favicon image is funny.. but too small to see as a favicon! Maybe you can zoom in on his head – it would make it more clear and yet still keep your “thing” going

Don’t forget that you can actually use animated favicons!

Gary has a great point about branding. I like my black hood, but it probably would not make a good favicon. Help!

Sounds like a good post. I need to come back to it on the Interwebs.

This is for your readers – I seriously think should be a must do for any blogger of any level. If you haven’t done it, then you’re not branding yourself correctly. I would also suggest using the same icon you have for MyBlogLog to further expand on the branding of your site.

Great Post Jimi!
