    Lol Favicons help give you brand. I’ve thought about that with your site. I think “I wonder why he’s the only one in my favorites without a Favicon?” :) I don’t like the animated ones, but a simple little pic doesn’t hurt anything or slow anything down. I’d rather see an cool icon there instead of the default icon that comes with all browsers. But maybe that’s just the graphic designer in me? Now custom Cursors are another thing…

      Well Favicons do make your bookmakes file larger so there is a point in doing this also it causes an Extra Http Request so if you are like the people that use Adgitize or Entrecard and are Visiting 100 or more Sites Daily then this will Slow things Down.If you wish to disable Animated coursors it can be Easily Disabled by Selecting options general and uncheck the Radio button that says Always use the Cursor keys to navigate withing Pages

    What do they say? Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone! ha! I believe it’s not how it looks, but the content. If you give people what they are looking for, then they can overlook almost anything, and they will continue to come back again and again.
    Besides, doesn’t every website have ads, banners or google?
