Just tried this and it works perfectly! Very simple to use, and should be even for a person who isn't very good with computers. Thanks!
Edit: This has been working great, but the logo/image shows up in places I do not want it to show up, such as in the compose mail space of Gmail. Any way to disable this in such areas? Thanks.
Update (May 29th, 2008): Thank you very much for updating the style so that the logo no longer shows in Gmail's compose message box! I really appreciate the update =)
