TSP Talk already has that icon on the top of the site (the one where the arrow is reflecting off an invisible surface underneath a blue ball). Is there any chance in turning it into a simple 16 x 16 pixel icon and making that logo appear in the URL address bar? I like to save my favorite sites on my bookmarks toolbar. When they have an icon, I don't need to use up valuable toolbar space with the name of the site. I just delete the name of the site and can use the icon. Here's a snapshot of my current browser toolbar to show you what I mean. What I have squared off in orange are some of my favorites links that have icons associated with them. What I squared off in red is TSPTalk. Wouldn't it be cool and good for branding to have a simple icon to be there? :D

Here's the screenshot:

Here's a page on how to do it:

Here's a site that will help you turn an image into an icon:

And I am attaching a favicon.ico file that is taken from the current site logo.

Of Course, you could create the icon out of any part of the site logo.

Thanks. I started looking into that a couple of weeks ago but never followed through. I will get on it. And thanks for the file!

Done. You may need to delete your temporary internet files /cache, or reboot, to see it.

cool! :cool: This site is getting more high tech every day.

When will we consider it web 2.0? :)
