Bookmark icon???
You know the little icon that goes next to your bookmark in your favorites. Some sites have a cool graphic instead of the basic IE logo. I think it makes the bookmark stand out more.
I'm looking to have one designed and installed. I'm not sure where to look.
Know anyone who can do this?
Thanks,
Matt

They're called favicons and are basically a 16x16 icon named favicon.ico in the document root. Or you could use, a link element if the icon isn't at /favicon.ico. :-)
Code:<link rel="icon" type="image/icon" herf="...LINK_TO_ICON..."/>

Nitpicks:
I believe that unless you can put the .ico in the DOMAIN, not document, root (e.g. as "www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico", not "www.domain.com/subdir/favicon.ico"), it won't work without the link tag.
Similarly, by default, mozilla-based browsers won't pick it up if you just put it in your root directory - they will only display it if you use the <link>.
Since the link tag allows you to put it anywhere, and works in IE as well, I'd recommend going that route.gav

Mozilla 1.x can display PNG's as well as ICO's... and it displays whenever you visit the page... They are easier to make than ICO's - wish IE supported them.
from my site :
Code:<link REL="icon" HREF="http://www.webqs.com/ico/qs001.png" TYPE="image/png">
HTH
