03/23/2004: "favicon.ico"

So me, having no life and not much more of an ego, peruse my user logs regularly. I saw that someone somehow was looking for a file called faveico.ico. Google led me to Web Developer's Virtual Library.

If you surf with Internet Explorer you've probably noticed that some of your bookmarked sites have custom icons while others have the default IE icon. Those custom icons are the favicon.ico.

For me, this is two coolnesses in one. First, it means that people are bookmarking my site. That's almost as good as having my name in the phone book. Second, it means I can put my own icon in others' lists of favorite files.
