How tasty is a Flavicon, why do I need one, and where do I get one?

So, I was searching for a way to get rid of the bland Blogger icon that appears on the browser tab, and in the URL of some browsers, and stumbled upon a set of directions that were really simple to follow.

I first went to this page to learn about the term "Flavicon", and read up on how to edit this in a typical blog editor:

I then saw a link to this page, which had another link to a free Flavicon Generator:

Apparently, there were some updates to the directions in 2008, so I followed here:

And, finally, I went to the Flavicon Generator on this site:

If you can find the image file on your computer you want to use as the Flavicon, you too can do this. It was SUPER easy, and as you can see, there is now a small head shot of me at the top of the browser page.  I used their free hosting service, and I have to say I am proud of myself for accomplishing this in a matter of about 10 minutes.  Feel like a blogging champ this afternoon.
