It took me just a minute to do it and if your wondering what my icon is all about let me explain. I wanted the icon to have some meaning and I knew I wanted it blue to match the site. At first I thought I would create my icon or favicon as I should call it with the letters FH for freshhome. That didn’t look good so I thought I would use the year I was born. That didn’t look to hot until I thought about rotating it 90 degrees. Now it looks like a face plus it still has the number 80 there. That’s about it so get cracking on making your own icon (favicon) for your website.
