You've seen them, those tiny symbols hugging the right side of your browser's address bar ahead of the web address. They're called favicons, short for favorite icons. When you click your web browser's "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" button, they show up in the list there, too. Favicons were devised to help bookmarked web sites stand out, but whether you actually see favicons when you visit a site depends on how your web browser treats the underlying code. To see favicons in your favorites and when you visit using Internet Explorer, empty your brower's cache (Tools>Internet Options>Temporary Internet Files>Delete Files>OK), then re-bookmark the web site, quit your browser, then relaunch. Our new peach favicon is coded into all Sarretts of Georgia web pages, however, in Internet Explorer only bookmarked pages will display it. Some browsers such as FireFox display favicons on all pages, bookmarked or not.
