I didn’t know what it was or that I needed one until I didn’t have one. Isn’t that the way our consumer culture work?
I kept on seeing these nifty little icons next to other web site urls in the Internet Explorer browser bar….a company logo, fancy letters, designs etc. Even though they are only 1/4 inch tall, they do look cool. I learned they were called favicons (Favorite and Icon combined). So now for my web site, my favicon is an orange rubber band ball. Check it out at www.barrymoltz.com.
With Internet Explorer 7 recognizing them, favicons are getting more and more popular. Congrats on yours!
