FAVICONS: What the best dressed sites are wearing.

A favicon is a small square extra graphic webmasters design to 'brand' your 'url'. Once programmed into your website, you will see this extra graphic (or custom favicon) when using your browser in three places; in the location bar, in the tabs, and in your favourites list. Most people show their logo (or a version of it), but any graphic or picture (that is not too complex) will work.

Take me out to the Ball Game!

aWEBthatWORKS.com is sponsoring a Bantom Baseball Team because Jenny of Organizing Solutions cared enough to spread the word, and because I couldn't say no when I found out Sector 57 was sponsoring a baseball team too.

Can you or someone you know help?
Our team badly needs a baseball coach. I can't as my baseball games are that night too. If you do, please email me or click on the word comment below if there's anyone you know who might be interested.

We'd love to see you out to a game. Go to... 2008 Baseball Schedule and look for new team facebook group - coming soon!

Fires in Tyrone?

These signs are popping up all around the Hamlet of Tyrone, located just north of Bowmanville, in Clarington, Ontario, Canada. Why you ask? Because one of the hundred-ish 'gentleman' in Tyrone, who moved here recently, feels compelled to call fire department on his neighbours, some of whom have enjoyed this tradition, for five decades in a safe and responsible fashion. Rather than speaking to the 'offending neighbours', the neighbourly way, the coward makes a call and uses tax payer's money to force our fireman to enforce legislation, there soley to stop dangerous offenders, not friendly fire. One night he reported eight fires, and then whines to the local press that he's being ostracized!!! Give your head a shake man! If you want to be treated like a neighbour, you need to be one! What do you think Tyrone? Resident's please click on the pencil and have your say!
