The Fish and Chips site progress is now moving faster in the last few days than it has since it’s conception almost a year ago now!

I’m passionate about favicons and no website should be without one in my opinion. So using the power of quasi-priorities i’ve knocked one up straight away. The design incorporates a chip fork and a fish! Well it had to… naturally!! Dare i say a “fishicon”! lol

FishandChips.org.uk Favicon

I’ve linked direct to the favicon above so if i change it in the future it’ll automagically change here.

I’ve also been playing with the Google Maps integration tonight… beavering away at the Norfolk Fish and Chip Shop locations. It’s not ready to go live yet but it’s looking good. I’ve got to do some planning regarding expansion in to Fish and Chip Shops and Restaurants in the UK too and how i’ll organise it into the site… subdomains or subdirectories. The decisions!

Check back soon for updates!
