LinuxToday would like to extend a special thanks to Chris
Allegretta for our shiny new ‘favicon.’

Favicons are the graphics that used to bedevil web
administrators who noticed numerous requests for nonexistent files
called ‘favicon.ico’ in their logs thanks to what was once a
feature limited to Internet Explorer that caused bookmarks
(‘favorites’ in Microsoft parlance) to bear a small graphic of a
site logo. Over time, Konqueror and now the latest Mozilla releases
have included support for the feature, and we have to admit that
they are pretty useful when looking for a specific link out of a
collection of bookmarks.

Reader Chris Allegretta has become hooked on them as well, and
decided to help spruce up LinuxToday with an icon of its own. So…
we’re happy to include the icon on our site, and we’re very
grateful to Chris for taking the time to make it for us.

Thanks, Chris!
