They say that waking up is hard to do
We took a reeeeeeally long nap this afternoon, so while sitting on the couch trying to regain consciousness I opened up my little editing program and made a new IE bookmark icon for the site. It looks like this:

If you've bookmarked the page in the past, it probably won't work for you this time around, since I used to have a little heart icon -- but it's something fun to play around with nonetheless (just bookmark, and then click on my link from your bookmarks, and it should show up in the IE address bar).

If you want to do the same thing at your own site, here's an article from Builder.com on how to do it. This is the program I use to draw the .ico files.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Thank you! I have had this page bookmarked for a while, but I didn't know about the editing program you mentioned. You ROCK!

I used that to make the little daisy icon I had -- dunno if it's still there. for some reason, our browser doesn't recognize them, or does only when it feels like it. oh well. it's a cool little icon you've got, though!

The reason you probably can't see it sometimes is because every time you clean out your temporary internet files, you clean out everyone's bookmark icons. Which means, if you've bookmarked someone, and cleaned out, you'll have to go back and re-bookmark them to see it again! Stinky aspect to it, but they are definitely very cool.

Cleaning temporary internet files never removes the heart icon from IE for me though. It's always tied to my site now...even when I re-bookmark it...

the neato thing about using NS7 is i see bookmarks right in the address bar no matter what -- infact i have different icons in the address bar for all my skins! but only i and other netscape 7ers can see them.

yours is quite cool.

Hey, this is so coooooooooooooooooo' I think I might have to just do this myself.

I've never seen a custom icon for site. All I get is the dumb little IE "E." Ick. I made an icon for my site and some days it is there, some days it isn't. Straaaaaange.

COOL! It works! I was wondering how Todd got that neato Calvin and Hobbes next to his bookmark!
