I’m fairly proud of myself because last week I did something I’ve been wanting to do for years… I made little tiny icons, and put them in the right place on my two main websites.  Now you should see them in your browser bookmarks and tabs.

Incidentally, I love what Firefox 3 does to the address bar.  Whenever you start typing, the bar fills up with suggestions based on pages you’ve recently visited. What a wonderful, practical, invisible bit of brilliance.

The “blogs.setonhill.edu” icon is really too small to read, but the colors still brand the content fairly clearly. I’m pretty happy with the stark white J.  But what’s the deal with the NBC logo next to my Seton Hill e-mail address? I dunno.

  • The browser automatically looks at blogs.setonhill.edu/favicon.ico (and had, for years, beeen generating an error message because there was nothing there). I finally put something there. But it should be possible to adjust your template to use whatever icon you wish.

    I used an online icon generator -- I don't remember which one -- to create the actual icon.

  • Any reason why the blogs.setonhill.edu favicon shows up on everybody's blogs? It's okay, and I think it's awesome for the main site, but, well, it kinda clashes with my design... If it can't be changed or is too big of a pain in the neck, forget about it. No worries. I just thought I'd mention it. I like the one for your blog for sure.
