    So when go to your bookmarks, some sites have little logos next to them.

    How would I go about getting one of those?

    It's called a favicon. You link it in the head portion of your Web page like this:
    
    <head>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    </head>
    Code (markup):
    Google can help you find an online favicon generator, which will allow you to either convert an existing image to the icon format or paint something new. If you're not feeling very creative, though, just search for a free favicon gallery.

    Thanks! I didn't know that, so I appreciate it very much. I learn something from this forum every day.
