I found the problem though. When I updated the post with a link to this one something screwy happened and the "document contain no data" thing came up. I just hit "try again" and let it resend the data. Somehow the "allow comments" thing got unticked in that process. :( Yeah, the favicon isn't as clear as a little bitmap illustration might be, but I like it better than any of my previous attempts. So I guess I'll see how it goes. :P Thanks :) You like the menu icons or the 3D ampersand and asterisk? Menu isn't mine, the rest pretty much is. Ooh, cool. Look forward to seeing your wallpapers. Mine ended up being simpler than I thought. I was trying some stuff with lighting and shadows, but it didn't really work out so I left them out. Woah, that’s freaky. I found the problem though.

I can totally relate to monumental projects needing to be broken down into smaller bits. That's the way it was for me with my blog redesign. Instead of "Redesign my whole blog," it was do some research, pick out favorite styles, draw 5 thumbnails/day... all simple and achievable, and it usually got me going to the point that I did more than I had planned, which is always nice! Hmm, I have a hard time telling what the new Favicon is. I mean I know it's a balloon, but It's not so obvious at first glance. Wait, so you designed that phone theme? Wow! Great job!! I Like the 3D symbols. I want to do a wallpaper for iLT, too. I have some ideas, just need to sit down and do them! Maybe I need to break it into smaller goals... hehe Comment form isn’t showing up on the favicon post!
