I see your adding some other upgrades to your site so I thought that I'd make another suggestion.
This site stands alone in my bookmarks without an icon. Could you add one?
Thanks.

Easy enough to do, I just never did it. I'll add it to my to-do list.

You guys were reading my mind. I have been wanting an icon on my Firefox tool bar for some time.

Good idea !!!! The cloth coverde face may look nice, but perhaps too much detail for an icon, not that I know much or anything about icons.

I actually started to work on this, and you have no idea how small that little icon really is. Everything I shrank down looked terrible. I'll keep trying, or if anybody wants to give it a go and post their results here is a site that helps generate them:

Try this.. Ok, did not know if it would work. It fits the box and you can see it. Just a thought...

And a good thought it is. You inspired me. Between your idea of using just initials and the oval sticker thread, I came up with something. I think it'll work until somebody comes up with something better.

I see we have a little "ST" now!!!! Good work! Just an idea - would there be room for "YST"?

Well, I can't do a mock up artist thingy on this computer, but what about this ...

Imagine a "T" ... then a "V" coming out of the top which then becomes a "Y" with a horizontal bar right at the junction .... the Y/T ... then draw the "S" directly over the vertical shaft of the "T" just below the bar.

Just a thought. Too fancy Schmancy? Yeah, probably. Looks too much like a caduceus, I guess.

I'll just go away now. R

The ST in an oval looks ok, but would look even better if you had choose a nice off setting color. Just another thought.. lol

I uploaded something new, probably more recognizable?

You may need to do a browser refresh (ctrl-F5) to get the new icon.

Smashed down version of the site logo. Just squint a bit and use your imagination. ;D
