oh. but I set up a del.icio.us page that has DH, among other things, on it.

FYI - no one else has a dailyheights del.icio.us tag. 3l33t.

Nice idea. I use this page to "borrow" favicons from. Then I apply them to favicon-less sites that I want to bookmark and delete the text title of each bookmark, so that my toolbar in Firefox has a tidy little row of favicons along the top. Makes it easier to have 30-50 bookmarks on the toolbar! The favicon that I use for this site is from some Icelandic site.

That's actually not that bad--it's really hard to get characters to be legible at that size--the resizing usually screws up your font.

Nice, but it seems to me like the DH icon really MUST be a photo of El Carniviento.

Borrowing from the page EmilyM linked, here are some complete rip-offs I whipped up:

How does one depict El Carneviento in a 16px * 16px icon?! ;-)

This one is slightly bigger, but I still think bewitched will be tough to beat.
