Faviconning

Ever wonder how people manage to get those cool looking icons next to their urls? If You have Movable Type, it's actually pretty easy.

I used these two links, followed the instructions nearly exactly and got the desired result. The only thing I did differently is when it says href="/favicon.ico" /> I replaced "favicon.ico" with the url where I had uploaded it to. And Voila! you have a recognizable icon next to your url.

Html-kit

and

Eat, Sleep, Drink, Movable Type

both have great directions, although Eat, Sleep, Drink is easier to follow ultimately.

Oh, I'm so jealous. I just have a boring old "W". I'll have to see if I can change that when my head stops aching.
