Blog Icons is now officially cool

I announced the plugin this morning, but I've been coding like crazy on it tonight, and it's now way cooler than it was this morning. So I present you: blog icons 1.0.

You can now upload a favicon or apple touch icon in the backend, and, as a new feature, you can also upload & add an image to your RSS feed with this plugin now! Check out the looks of that in Firefox:

On top of that, it will autodetect your favicon if you have one, and set it correctly in your Atom feeds!

Check out the cool backend:

Enjoy!

    You must have awesome time management skills.
    Pooping out plugins like there's no tomorrow and keeping your family happy.

    Nice. I installed it this morning and hadn't even personalized it yet (updating 6 WP sites kind of blows your morning)

    @archshrk: what was the name of the file you were trying to upload? did have a .jpg or a .jpeg extension?

    You are on a roll recently. Thanks so much for all these awesome plugins.

    For favicons, I'd recommend going with .ico files for maximum compatibility. Faviconr (http://www.faviconr.com/) is a quick way to convert any jpg of png or gif into the standard favicon ico file.

    @Markus941 thx! great feedback, I'm looking into adding an option to convert to .ico in the plugin, would be cool if faviconr.com had an API...
