Too busy to work on my site lately, as usual. I did however post a favicon.ico today, the first variation. It is the little graphic you see in the location bar, to the left of "http:" ... I admit it sucks, but it will motivate me to improve it, and it's not a microsoft brand now.


On a side note, of course related to google, my website - arts-link has just had a major jump in search results rankings thanks to a major change in the way the galleries were set up. They used to have generic headers in the title bar on every page, just saying arts-link dhtml gallery or some such thing, now they dynamically generate to put the artist name and gallery there.


The result of these changes is that a search on the artists name now brings up there arts-link.com gallery as the top search result. (except rudy ernst, because I had to make some changes and he used to be labeled by his aliases othmar).


Here are the google #1 results...

Gordon Landreth

Louise Strawbridge

Jimmy Helton

Derek Cianfrance

Pat Ernst

Evan Mandell


This is good, it means google is indexing the site more frequently which will hopefully lead to some more / new traffic to the site.
