Ok sorry for ALL the ANNOYING emails, but now when anything is posted on the site it will be mailed to all subscribers when the box “All Subscribers” is checked. I think i hear my physics calling, so good night all.

I’d love to see a members’ login link on the welcome page.

Ok, let start with what is a favicon. A favicon is the graphic icon that loads up next to the web address. Many sites you bookmark often have an icon. For example WellsFargo has a WF, MSCD has some weird dotting swirl, Metro Chem Club has a chiral carbon atom!

First, I started by searching Google for pics of atoms. Once, I found the ideal picture I downloaded it to an easily accessible location. I use an open source image manipulation program known Gimp, but Photoshop might work for Window users. Opening the pic in Gimp and scaling the image to be square before saving it as ppm file (ie. 8X8 pixels) enables you to have a small square icon that will fit next to the web address. If your image manipulation program allows “.ico” files, it would be easiest to save it as such allowing you to skip the next few steps. Netpbm was the program I used to convert formats before uploading the favicon to the host server. With the proper plugins running in the Content Management System CMS, favicon head in this case, I was able to input the favicon’s location, and PRESTO!! Favicon on our web address.
