WordPress 4.3: Site Icons!
So, it took me a few extra days to unveil that fancy feature I mentioned, but we’re here now… let’s do this.
WordPress 4.3 introduces something to make WordPress sites stand out against the generic unsophisticated masses, something high-end sites have had for years… Site Icons! Whenever you Bookmark or Favorite or whatever the word is that your browser of choice uses for saving a site you want to visit again and again at your leisure, that site gets saved with an icon. For instance, Apple.com gets saved with their famous logo, the now monochromatic apple with a whimsical bite taken out of it. Other sites, smaller sites, generally get some sort of generic placeholder icon. My blog had said placeholder icon. Had, past tense, no more.
My blog now has a shiny unique Site Icon.
Thank you WordPress 4.3!

Michael, my friend, how is the world treating you these days? Your site icon reminded me a recent article from The New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/05/18/world-without-end-raffi-khatchadourian
If you haven’t already read it, please do. I think you’ll find it fascinating.
And here’s a video on the same subject:
