Here’s my new Micro.blog plug-in: 💅 Faviconique! Add a personal touch to your blog with a custom emoji favicon—or keep it minimal with a solid color square. Favicons are the little icons in browser tabs, and now you can make yours stand out. Let me know what you think!

A browser window with three tabs open: Sven's blog with an avocado emoji as the favicon, Cool Person's Blog with a sunglasses emoji, and Your Blog? with a nail polish emoji.

@sod I love this! I haven't figured out how to get it to work, though. I installed the plugin, and my site's favicon is now my profile photo instead of the emoji I set.

@cygnoir Thanks so much for checking out my plug-in! 🥰 I'm sorry it hasn't started working yet. Troubleshooting from the outside can be tricky, but it looks like the plug-in might not be installed correctly. For instance, there should be an image at this URL: www.cygnoir.net/images/favicon.svg, but it's missing.

Do you have more than one blog hosted on Micro.blog? I've made the mistake myself a couple of times—installing plug-ins on the wrong blog. 😅

If you're sure it's installed on the correct blog, head over to micro.blog/account/logs, click the Rebuild button, and keep an eye on the logs. Hopefully, they'll point us in the right direction if something's wrong.

@cygnoir I took a closer look at the lovely theme you're using, created by @jimmitchell, and noticed it's missing a small piece needed for full support of Micro.blog plug-ins. I've created an issue over on GitHub, and hopefully, Jim agrees it's a good idea and implements it. 😊

Once that's done, your favicon should just start working.
