Help Needed I
With Firefox, most of the sites I visit display a tiny logo just to the left of the URL in the same field. Can anyone tell me how to make a tiny logo of my own, without spending any money on new software? Not so much how to make one — that’s easy enough with Paint — but how to get Firefox to display it. I gather (from Googling “tiny logo” nad “Firefox”) that it has to be neither a GIF nor a JPEG, but some format called ICO, whatever that is. It’s also not clear where it has to be loaded, what I need to call it, and whether it needs to be referenced in my template.

Thanks, Robin! It worked for me. Now, I have a nifty little clock (cribbed from my template) to the left of my URL when people visit.
What’re you going to have, Doc? A bug? BTW, “.ico” files are icons, a leftover from the old Windows 3.x days. Somebody found a use for those little 16×16 doodads.

Look!
Up in the corner by the webpage address. I got myself an icon. Inspired by a question over at Dr. Weevil’s site, I decided I needed an icon. Not that I had anything good to make into an icon, but…
