Thanks very much. I must add in the same breath that none of this would be
possible without all of the good work you have put into creating the
Welcome Page, so congratulations are equally in order there. 

This is one illustration of the kinds of functionality we can build around
the Welcome Page which should serve to enhance communications and can
provide another value-added feature for our Information Providers.

Continuing with this I have created a draft 'icon' reflecting that the
site is a recipient of the CCN Featured IP. I'd like the 'featured IP' to
have (besides bringing significant extra traffic to the site) a certain
cachet and distinction. Although it isn't really an 'award' per se, having
an icon associated with it allows the recipient site to keep on displaying
the distinction, and also to draw further attention to this feature.

You can take a look at the draft at:

	http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Chebucto/fip.html

Let me know what you think. You'll not that selecting the images
hyperlinks one back to the current featured IP. My intention is to
distribute the source code:

<p><A
HREF="http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Policy/messages/ip/docs-html/featured.html"><IMG
SRC="http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Icons/fip.gif" ALT="CCN Featured
Information Provider" Border="0" Width="100" ALIGN="left"></A>

To recipient sites. They can then include this (or not) on an appropriate
page on their site.

Comments? Feedback?

Cheers!

Chris
