Well, we've been discussing and Steve has implemented a favicon at DF. Methinks, it's time for the Trolls to do the same.
What do y'all think?
Lot's of good images, thanks to Peter could be used.

Its a little icon that displays next to the address bar and in the favorites folder, to remind you of the website its linked to. Basically, its a half-baked viral marketing tool, sort of. You know, like if you have the Google Toolbar you get that little blue G next to it? Same idea.

Ah ok, since none of us have any idea how to go about that... I sure don't.

The first thing you need is the ICO file (the icon). And then...
Favicon info (and yeah, its Wiki, but its at least mostly accurate for once.)

The Aztecman will probably know how to do it, but I thought you Trolls might like the idea!

I use the icons to easily check which sites I have on the tabs in FF, even if I have too many to get the names displayed. so it is far from useless for me.
Sure they can do a better job but here is one possibility.

To add it it must be at the root directory of the site and while most browsers today get it automatically you can force it by inserting the below code in the HEAD section of your pages:
