This is really cool! You can have animated .gif icons as well. Check out my animated icon on http://prosperouspartners.biz
Hi, I went to your website and saw your favicon but I didn't know what it represented and it wasn't animated. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or is it Superman?) ~Marion
Thanks Lyra! I was able to change that ugly WP thing with something better. I was able to do that with just your two step description. Thanks so much for sharing!
