I just noticed that TTL doesn't appear to have an icon for the website. You know the one that shows up the address bar of your web browser.
Someone could make one I'm sure. Something simple, perhaps just the letters "TTL" wrapped in a some shiny button-ish icon.
It's not incredibly important, but it wouldn't hurt to have one.
OMG yer right, I've never noticed. Kurtis, Brian, get your asses back from vacation and make one!
How do you make that thing anyway? Is there some standard filename at the root of the website that it pulls from?

you just make a little gif and rename the extension .ico and stick it in the main file folder of your site files.

A little google search...
The Icon should be 16x16 pixels, and 16bpp and it's not okay to just rename a png or jpg.
Apparently, it helps to name a icon "favicon.ico" for a default and also put the following in your html files:
<head>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yourwebsite.com/favicon.ico">
</head>
This may not be necessary but it can't hurt to put it in.
You can use alternate icon names and specify them in this tag so that pages can have seperate icons if desired.

maybe we'll make one soon :-P
we've got some... stuff... coming up soon, which i'm not at liberty to speak about. perhaps when said stuff is ready, an icon will be made. or perhaps not. this message will cause your computer to self-destruct in... a little while.
