In IE it only appears if the link is bookmarked, if I'm not mistaken.
BTW, your site is totally unusable by a text browser - that would include
Google. The reason - all links are Javascript. Dump the Javascript links,
or have redundant normal links for users without Javascript enabled.

interesting... how many people use text-only browsers anymore? (and
why?) if you disable JavaScript, it seems to me, most websites nowadays
would probably not work very well.. only some links on my home page are
JS links; all of them contain JS scripts (for rollovers), but not all of
them are JS links.. most are normal <a href="pg.html"> links.. what do
you mean "Google"? Google has a text-only browser??
that little icon.. it's true, in IE it only worked for me once I had
bookmarked page.. oh well.. thanks again.. Frances

interesting.. my site is purely personal and of no commercial interest,
so I have never really made an effort to appear on search engines, and
anyway, I was always under the impression that for your site to be
seriously picked up by any relevant search engines you had to pay..
there are services that for a fee will make yr site be picked up by
search engines.. is this right?? where engines like google and yahoo
come in here I don't know... oh well, since I've never really delved
too much into this subject don't know much about it I guess.. :)

You could pay a lot of money. I put opro.org on top of the search engines
without paying a dime. Helps that it is a 501(c)(3) because we can take
advantage of some free opportunities that would cost money for regular
businesses or individuals to be listed, but could have done it without
them too.
See alt.internet.search-engines for more info on this topic.
