A few years ago, when I first wanted to create a favicon for http://www.spurthi.com/, I had to use the Gimp 1.x on my Linux box to create a .png file and then convert that to a .ico file using png2ico utility. Today, I just wanted to play with this for this blog site. Using the Gimp 2.x on my Solaris x86 laptop, I created a very poor quality (from a user interaction perspective) favicon with just a few strokes. May be I need to get a good theme for a real favicon for this blog.

Gimp really has come a long way in regards to ease of use for tasks such as these.
