New Favicon

Today I changed the favicon for my blog! For those who don't know, a favicon is the little icon next to a webpage name in your browser's tabs section. For example:

See? I used to have the blogger symbol next to "Rhetorical Rebekah."
Now, it's a little thought bubble.

I went through several icons before settling on the thought bubble- the main problem being that pictures look a lot different when they've been shrunk to a minuscule size. Basically, only symbols or letters are recognizable, so if you want to create your own favicon, know that you probably shouldn't pick an actual photo.

This took a LONG time to figure out, but I was able to do it thanks to the following websites:

• http://designyourownblog.com/blog-design/tutorial-how-to-create-blog-favicon/
• http://www.picmonkey.com/
• http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

If you don't see my new favicon when you pull up my blog, you may have to clear your browser's image cache.

Rhetorically,
Rebekah
