For retrieving the icon, you can use the urlopen() call from Python's
built-in urllib library.

To do it right, you need to first try to pull the URL from the blog's
HTML, and if it doesn't exist there (in a <link> tag), fall back to
the domain name + "/favicon.ico".  I suggest BeautifulSoup for parsing
the HTML.

You shouldn't have to convert the image.  Even though the .ico format
is a Windows standard, I think all browsers nowadays can handle one in
an <img> element.
