			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From all the classes I&#8217;ve taken in college, Mike Scott and Don Batory are two of my favorite professors. Aside of being well-prepared for lectures and such, the small details really do matter. The favicons on their websites for <a href="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~scottm/cs307/" title="Computer Science 307">CS 307</a> and <a href="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/dsb/CS378/" title="Software Design">CS 378</a> are fantastic. Whenever I&#8217;m scrounging through my bookmarks or just looking among a dozen open tabs, having a quickly recognizable image helps me find just what I&#8217;m looking for right away.</p>
<p>A few years ago, I had fun using Gimp for one of the first times in creating the favicon for Chavez360. It was just a smiley face with a red headband. The favicon was very simple, but it symbolized something easily recognizable to any Chavez fan.</p>
<p>This blog is a whole different story, though. Even after almost a year of occasional posts, I don&#8217;t have a main focus so a true symbol is out of the question. However, after putting it off for so long, I had to come up with something. Fortunately, I have a short word in the title and used a <a href="http://www.favicon.cc/">online favicon generator</a> to come up with something reasonable. Then not knowing what else to put in all the blank space left over, I added in some symmetrical symbols. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Favicon" title="Add a favicon in WordPress">Adding it to WordPress</a> was simple.</p>
<p>No, it&#8217;s not the best favicon in the world, but it sure beats the default icon that Firefox provides so now when I visit, it feels just a little more like home.</p>
