Just a note, the reference to apple-touch-icon.png most likely means someone is adding your site to their iPhone screen. So if I were you, I'd just create a big beautiful version of your favicon and...

Thanks again Tubby! It wasn't an out of a box solution, so I was able to do it the way I thought it should be done - so it's nice to hear someone else thinks I did good!

Exactly! Yeah, this particular email cracked me up, but I also thought it was pretty smart.

I actually do interviews - either live with a digital recorder or through email. And I have an active...
