Just a heads up. The favicon for http://xiapdesign.com is actually the default bluehost.com favicon. If you don’t set one up yourself bluehost uses theirs. I only know this because I use bluehost and have changed it before.

I’ve always liked my own favion but then again I’m biased :)
It used to be animated as well but I found that a bit distracting after a while…

@BOB – Yours would have been better if it was rounded as the smiley face instead of odd shape and just cropped from the header image.

You can get an animated favicon if you can find the instructions at the Angel of the Garden’s favicon instruction page.

Some are nice but far from original. The first one is a copy of the new waiting cursor of vista. Dappit looks a lot like the old Flash logo.
