Something is wrong with the way the icons above "first time visitor," "upcoming services" and "service archive" display on uucb.org. Two icons display above each text. Between each pair are spurious characters: "> I must have duplicated a closing tag somewhere - but where? Is it possible to suppress these icons entirely?
  • The one for "upcoming services" looks like a battery icon from a site for automobile engine parts
  • The one for "service archive" looks a flag
  • The one for "first time visitor" is a star. Why? "You will get star treatment if you visit our church?"

--Edward Tufte I think it a good sign that something this minor is the #1 complaint I get from members about our newly launched site.
