Here's the Lowdown: In the Quick Blogcast® Manage Blog tab, you can add a favicon to your site.

A favicon is a favorites icon associated with a particular Web page or site. When visitors bookmark your site, the favicon displays next to the name of your Web page in their favorites list. In many browsers, your favicon displays before the URL in the address bar. This helps a site stand out in a list of favorites and creates a customized appearance in the visitor's browser. Favicons are a popular way to draw attention to and promote a website. Favicons are often corporate logos or images.

NOTE: Your favicon must be 16x16 pixels in size. Most browsers support .jpg, .gif. and .png files. However, to function properly in Internet Explorer, favicons must be rendered as .ico files.
