… okay I mean I guess it depends on what kind of icon you’re using in your separator.
I guess it could be machine guns. But I’m using a cat for mine so it’s definitely
cute. ANYWAY it works, it’s easy, I did have a small issue with it & Phi got back
to me immediately, & now my website has cute separators with a cat & everything 
is lovely.
