Really though, I think you're best leaving it as a monthly, since (1) the user won't always think "it's the 31st?" (when it's really the 30th, or the 1st) and (2) the favicon will not be dynamic (like a daily-rotating one would), meaning the user can adjust to "that icon == my calendar".<br /><br />Revert please?Binghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122434007195109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-83973645668767144762010-08-26T05:40:14.581-07:002010-08-26T05:40:14.581-07:00+1 Ugly.
