Today I was looking for an efficient way to include a PDF icon on my website for the concert band music. I remembered that the Bootstrap CSS library used to have something called glyphicons but, while I was looking for them, I stumbled across their set of icons. I remember experimenting with SVG graphics a long time ago, when it was a new idea on the web, but this means I can have neat, scalable icons that take up a fraction of the space that a JPEG or PNG or other rasterised image format would.

I haven’t figured out how to embed them in this blog or you’d probably have a row of them dancing across the page but I think this is going to be a very useful extra snippet of knowledge for me.
