I’ve created a simple module with which you can build a Joomla Menu based entirely on icons. It’s the same as the one I’m using at the top right of my blog.

You simply tell it how many icons you want (one to eight), what the target url is, specify a url to an icon, specify a target tag if desired (eg. _blank), and give it a description. You must also specify a divider image which appears between each icon, set the icon size, and adjust the layout with the appropriate parameters.

It’s really straight forward, self explanatory, and doesn’t do anything particularly complex, but I couldn’t find anything similar for Joomla. You can find it here.

Icons/Images are not included, though if you like the ones I’m using you’ll find them here.

I’ve made a few minor updates to my site, Apple-ifying it somewhat with the addition of iPod Touch / iPhone style calendar icons dating each post. I also wrote a new Joomla module, an icon based menu, which I’ve also Apple-ified. And finally, there’s some minor tweaking to the look of the modules on the right. All very minor stuff, but it was fun.
