in firefox, when the tabbed browsing is open, you get a small-square logo display next to your page title. i was wondering how that is applied (note: createblog also uses this feature), and how i can include it on my personal page.

It's called a "favicon" or so google tells me:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=of...favicon&spell=1

Here, I have a great tutorial here:
