Favicons and site memory

Phil Whitehurst — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 21:38:00 +0000

Hi,

Well the site now has a simple favicon which will appear at the start of website address bar in Internet Explorer / Mozilla etc and in your favourites. ( I am your favourite am I not )

The site also now remembers whereabouts you were when looking at photos and the diary. So when you return selecting either will return to the same photos or diary entries.
