Hello Lindsey & Rich,

I just noticed this for the first time when I typed in the site address to "Orlasgarden" there is an avatar, (a picture of Orlagh), prior to the address, "www...."
I thought that looked really good, are you able to do that for CWF?"

Thank You,
Best Regards,
Howard

Howard,

What your talking about is actually a specific icon called favicon.ico. And yes we could do one for the site, I've just never seen the need as up until recently IE wouldn't show it.

They're also tiny, 16px square to be precise, and that's just EXTREMELY difficult to work with and still get something that's pretty and recognizable.

I created favicons for some websites I write.   I used this website to create them:
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

You can see an example at:
http://www.asteroidoccultation.com/observations/Results/

The favicon was made using the logo of the organization.

I like the purple CWF. Now, I wonder if something like that could happen for Lisa's fan club? Grin

*frowns a little*

Strange, I'm not seeing that ... I looked and I do get the one that was mentioned on Orla's Garden site, but I don't get the avatar here on the CWF.

It may take a little bit to propagate.  If you visit a website enough, your web browser starts getting lazy about loading certain parts (usually background elements), even if you hit refresh.

**indignant look**

Well, now, that's just not very nice at all, is it?  I think it's time to give the browser a stern talking to if it's getting lazy with the CWF website of all places!

*LOL*  Oh well, as long as I can get to the site here, that's what matters!  Thanks for the info Bluefire!

Awe Lindsey, that is sad.  Well I certainly appreciate the fine work you do.  I love the favicon too by the way.
