How do you make that little symbol that appears next to the name on the browser? Like the druids grove has the little tree. Anyone know?

Its called - I beilieve - a Favicon . Originally an IE thing, the other browsers have picked it up. Personally, I disable them as I dont like how they lag my bookmarks hehe... Anyway, they're done at the website end, although it's probably possible to override it on the user end. Easily google-able once you know the term 8)

favicon.ico (case sensitive) is the file browsers look for within your root directory of your site, unless otherwise specific with the <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href=".." /> tag.

This is all a server side thing. I even have one on my site just cause I got tired of all the 404 error emails from browsers looking for that .ico file!
