Hey, Beckystar here again from web princess :) One of my favourite effects is the 'Mouse Over Image Change', like the example I have made on my home page, my web princess logo is turquoise on white, move your mouse pointer over it, now it's turquoise on black! - click here to see it.

Definition : A favicon is the icon that is displayed in browser tabs, bookmarks, etc. Google Sites allows the uploading of a custom favicon.  The favicon will be displayed for all pages of the site and is one of the simple things that makes your site more credible. To make and upload a favicon is simple.  First of all, get the free graphics and photoshop-like program GIMP .  It is an essential program for web designers like myself.  I use it for all my graphics.  Open GIMP Create 'New' Specify a 32x32 pixel canvas Create your symbol/icon Save and name as favicon.ico, choose the 32 bpp option In your Google Site go to Manage Site > Attachments Click Upload and select your favicon.ico file It's that easy!  Enjoy your new favicon and differentiate yourself from the typical Google Sites crowd. That Favicon is Boring Anyway

We have recently finished a new website for a financial consultant out of St. Louis.  Michael Martin contacted me with a summary of his new business and a drive to market himself online.  Treading on some new ground, Mike wanted to sell a credit manual.  We used Google Checkout to create a easy way to buy.  It is a great opportunity to work with a business of out St. Louis and to help another small business get on the radar. Any other law firms, financial consultants, professional in need of a custom website?  Taking on clients since this project is all wrapped up.  Visit www.martinconsultant.com Thank you for your business to Kirksville Web Design!
