Blogging buddy John Kolbert has released his very first WordPress plugin called Admin Favicon. Not long ago, John published an article on his blog that explained how to give your WordPress admin area it’s own favicon so that you could easily discern the WP Admin tab in your browser from all of the other tabs. As it turns out, each time you upgrade WordPress, the hack disappears. That problem is solved with this plugin.
When you install the plugin, a new entry is created within the OPTIONS page of your administrative backend. Click on Admin Favicon and you should see a box where you can type in a custom URL where your favicon will be stored.
After setting the URL to your icon, click OK. It might require you to restart your browser before the icon is detected but usually, all you’ll need to do is browse a few pages in your Admin area until the icon is detected.
This is another example of how open the WordPress code is. A simple problem solved with a simple solution. And thanks to John releasing this plugin, other people who have noticed this similar problem, now have a solution in which to use. Thanks John.

Thoughts and Insanity From Jeff 
Jeffro, glad you liked the plugin! Thanks for the link!
@John Kolbert You’re welcome John. I’m using the plugin right now and I’ve already seen a difference in the way I can manage my tabs.
John,
Make sure you list it on WLTC news and WP Extend for more exposure and downloads. This is a good idea.
@Ronald Huereca Damn Ronald, that was one of the things I forgot to tell John. This would help him get some exposure for sure.
I listed it on both already. I’m still waiting to hear back from WP Extend. Thanks guys!
Very neat idea! Of course, I would probably go crazy trying to decide on a favicon to use. Does it come with one?
@Lloyd Budd Yep. The plugin comes with the standard WordPress logo which is the one I’m using.
