Great post , You hit the
nail on the head, I just don’t think that people quite get what you’re saying.
I don’t know how many people I’ve talked to concerning this very
thing in the past month, and they just don’t understand.

, Excellent post!

Aditya December 15, 2009 at 4:18 am

Thanks Brandon! Hope you enjoy other posts too :)

To apply favicons and even to generate or apply our gravatar as favicon, there are plugins available, its just a matter of few searches.

I was wondering and I don’t know it yet what it is called for that rectangular part at the beginning of address bar itself. It is much larger than favicon and rectangular in shape like that of paypal site. Do you know what it is called and how to do that?
