ADMIN POST: The Icon Explanation Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

This one comes from doll_revolution and it's so good that I think we'll let it go for two weeks so that Escapade doesn't interrupt it. It's The Icon Explanation Challenge, which doll explains as "where we write a DS story based on our favorite icon that other people have."

In other words, write a story that explicates or illustrates a DS icon that you've seen on the web, and please include the icon *with* your story. Think of the icon as an illustration of sorts (and please note whose icon it is that you're using!)

Today's Wednesday by my watch; stories are due two Wednesdays from now (i.e. February 18th) at midnight.

Edited to add: Just to clarify; I don't intend for you to use the icon yourself; rather, you should upload it with the story, as a picture, and be sure to cite where it's from. This isn't an exercise in icon-stealing; rather, it should work more like the "favorite icon" meme that went around some time ago. If there are other questions, please drop a comment in the notes!

Let's see if I can do this...

I right clicked on your icon (I'm using Opera, but I believe this will work similarly in other browsers) and that gave me a list of options, one of which was "Copy image address". If I paste it here, it looks like:

And if I put it in an IMG (in HTML) it looks like this:
