Ok, it's my first Post here let's hope it turns out ok.
Yeah, I agree with Josh if people agreed to use the same little template pics those pics would be common enough. What I would suggest doing is making a nice freesite with cool art that everyone will want to use. Call it "please rip off my site" PROMS.
Tom's idea did have an interesting feature: that people could personalize these little icons. If someone really wanted this maybe we could just consider making some kind of a config file where the user can set up replacements like replace HSK A with HSK B, so he can have his B style look and feel.
I don't see this being worth the trouble. Then again it doesn't seem that hard to do either. Maybe someone could point out another reason for doing this.

just publishing it on the freenet at large would be nearly as effective,
and as todd mentioned i doubt this should be included in the actual
freenet.zip's to keep installer from getting bloated. if mulitple sites
started sharing the same clip art then files would be really well
established on the network and hence should load quickly.
