If you think any of this gibberish looks interesting, you should poke around and subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with new content.

I just realized that in my little bookmark folder of blogs that I visit basically every day, I’ve been skipping basically all the typepad blogs because they have the same favicon.

My eye gravitates to unique icons, for some reason. Anyways, apparently it’s a good idea to have your own icon.

Tagtastic: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
