That's an artifact introduced by Microsoft called a "Favorites Icon" 
or "favicon" for short.  All I did was put up a generic one so the 
web server would quit reporting "not found" errors from all the MSIE 
users hitting the website.

It cannot be enlarged.  Its use is primarily for when you save things 
in your favorites or bookmarks to add a little graphic touch.  Most 
of the time it will be a company logo or some graphic tied to the 
identity of the website.  We may come up with something more specific 
like an "R22" icon later on.

If you surf with FireFox or Safari or other non-MS browser, you 
probably won't see anything.  It's a blank graphic.  However, MSIE 
seems to like to brand itself ;-)

Cheers!
