Ever since I installed IE6 SP1, I started seeing web pages with missing images. Usually missing images were small in size but used multiple times in a page like the XML icon you see in my blogroll. Well, I am seeing it now somewhat consistently after changing blog software. I used to see it with permalink icon and day icon which is why I removed them yesterday. Looks like I'll have to replace the XML icon with text. Urgh.
Update:
I replaced the XML feed icon with CSS-based text anchor as Richard Soderberg suggested. I did reduced the font size to 6px and adjusted the border colors because larger version was causing too much distraction. It's still distracting but this will do until I replace the blogroll with something that takes up less space. Thanks Richard.
