Favicons Suck - Move On To Blog Icons!
You know the little 16×16 favicon images you put on your website? They’re ok, and you have to do one for each site, but they don’t really stand out.
Now, thanks to a new thing called BlogIcon, you can add an 80×80 image to your blog that’s like an avatar that follows you around.
“Like a favicon but bigger” you could say.
You might be thinking, “wait, can’t you do this with MyBlogLog or Gravatar?” The answer is yes, but then you have to waste time signing-up for those stupid services. With BlogIcon, you just upload an image to your site. That’s it!
If you want to learn more or see some examples, take a look at this post at BlogStorm.
But the point of this post is to say that BlogIcon is now installed right here on InternetMarketingSucks, so add a BlogIcon to your blog and it will show up with each comment you make!
(Please add a blogicon on your blog and leave a comment here so we can see how it looks!)
*Update* Apparently there is no longer support for BlogIcon. And it doesn’t work with Wordpress 2.5 or newer. So avoid BlogIcon, it’s a waste of time.

Testing… testing…
And look at that, my sexy BlogIcon is right there!
Looking good.
Cool idea! Testing…
Does it follow you around in a creepy stalker way? Or in a gentle loving puppy kind of way?
I would say it’s a loyal dog sort of way. You have total control of a BlogIcon just like a Favicon since it’s on your site. That’s what sets it apart from MyBlogLog and Gravatar.
I’ll give blogicon a try, but it doesn’t beat the convenience of having a MyBlogLog icon ready to go whenever I hit a site. The thing is, the site has to be using MyBlogLog, which is not always the case.
Let’s see if mine works…
Thanks for these links! Awesome that you took the time to publish them all!
