Affiliate program
Internet Explorer 5 gets a new feature which recognizes an icon
associated with a website.
An icon distinct from the IE icon might be associated with a web page
URL in the "Favorites" folder if bookmarked, as well as on the Address
Bar and on the Status Bar when the pages are viewed: the icon should
appear at the left end of the URL instead of the IE icon.
How to join? You must first contact the webmaster for the IFAA site,
CALCALGA, ... or any other affiliate
sites. Then you should be fully entitled to associate the affiliation
icon with
your web page.
How to do it?
The technique is relatively simple [more information at the James S.
Huggins' Refrigerator Door]. An *.ico file named favicon.ico must
be uploaded in the root directory of the page you would like to be
labelled. For example, http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico.
You can also associate the icon [recommended] with your web page by
adding a line of HTML code in the head section of your
web document. The line of code includes a link tag that specifies the
location of the file.
For example,
<HEAD>
<LINK
REL="SHORTCUT ICON"
HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico">
</HEAD>
At IFAA, we have prepared a series of five 32x32 pixel file
with 256 colors:
• blue for the blue-green algae and microbial structures-related sites,
• green for the green algae and charophytes,
• red for the red algae,
• white for sites covering several groups,
• yellow for the brown and "yellow" algae.
