   I just installed the wordpress plugin and am using the feed here. For some reason I cannot get the favicons to show up for most of the services. I looked in the source after the php is generated and it shows it just pulling the rss.png. I cannot figure out how to make them pull the icons I put in the folder. Anyone know what's wrong?

   Thanks,

   I'm also not sure what the "service names" really are. e.g. What is it for Picasa? I name the favico Picasa but it can't work.

   How do we know the exact service names?

   @87insight: Generally speaking, the service names are setup as the word between www. and .com. For example:
   www.profilactic.com would have the service name profilactic
   www.digg.com = digg

   I accomplish this via regex so that I don't have to update the plugin every time a new service needs to be added. But, it doesn't work perfectly because if there is a service that has a funky name del.icio.us, then the regex expressions would want to pull "icio". I've compensated for the common 'odd-named' services like delicious and lastfm, but certainly I've missed a few.

   SO... how do you find the exact service names?
   A: Go to your lifestream page and 'view source'. Search for <!-- Lifestream--> and look at the values of <li><a class=service name.... Save the favicon as this service name and place it in your profilactic\images directory.</a>

   Google services are a little trickier so I'll probably have to create an exception for this. I won't have time to work on this for the next two weeks as I am traveling, but I will take a look in mid September.
