For those of you that were interested in getting your own icon to go to the left of your URL in the location bar of a browser (also known as a favicon, standing for "favorites icon"), here's the skinny:
The best place I've found to generate your own Favicon is a free online Favicon-from-image generator provided by the creators of HTML-Kit.
If you wander through the gallery of previously created favicons, you'll likely stumble across (on page 20) the BigBlueHat icon I created there a few years back.
Give it a try and see how your's turns out.
Posted by TheIdeaMan at August 26, 2005 09:07 AM | TrackBackI'd wondered how to do that. I learn yet another thing from the IdeaMan himself. I'll check that out sometime when I have more time (not for my blog, but for other web stuff).

Have a good time with it.
Posted by: Benjamin at August 29, 2005 11:15 AMThere is also this Icon creator you can download for free. I enjoyed playing around with it.
It is certainly not as easy as Ben's link, though. It can be used to create Icons for your windows desktop also.
