 > Excellent. What do you think about letting .bmp files through the
 uploader on the JS side (I've let it through on the PHP side). My thinking
 is that for those users that have legitimate favicons already generated
 (perhaps from their old, HTML site), they would probably want to just
 upload them and let them pass-through. That means possibly also supporting
 a .ico upload.

 If the backend supports it, we can let it in.  I more so wanted to add in
 some basic checking in order to not make users have to go back if they
 upload the wrong file. Feel free to edit the list in the JS or just let me
 know what you want.

 I'm going to pick this up tomorrow.  I have no problem adding in the
 lightbox experience once we have everything ironed out.

 Basic UX flow that I'm planning -

 1) User initiates the process by selecting a file.

 2) If the file extension is supported, continue.  Else bail and message
 why.

 3) Lightbox appears wich contains the submitted image and allows the user
 to crop the image

 4) Upon completion, the icon will apear next to the image upload form so
 that the user knows what they have selected.
