*clears throat and begins to build scenario to get people in their suspenders*
ahem..sorry wrong script. I was searching for some material to bring to the frey in my forums, when as usual I veered off da highway on a tangent.
Shhhhhhhhhh they know I always do that, dont make it worse now shush! Glaring down at the usurper in the front row I continue....
*glare*
Anyhoos I came upon some really weird @ssed sites and they had even weirder@ssed links, and you guessed it, if there are weird@ssed 'sounding or looking' links, the rose will try them.
To cut to the chase I ended up at a couple of sites that serve special icons on a bytesized dl. They were pretty cool so I thought I would share one of them.
The most impressive site out of the two (being more comic and TV orientated - hehehe) was called IconsPlus.
Wait, there's more, they also have fonts available on bytesized dls (hope they arent the same ones as the icons were or, they might be soggy by now) Some of this fonts were Comically Inspired...with similar text that the original comic or cartoon program had.
But wait, there's more ~ Icons Plus also offer desktop images on bytesized dls...... hmm those dls sure get around...
Don't rush out there yet, there's more
