What's a good icon to represent "Edit Posts" without putting the words "Edit Posts" on there? Keep in mind that this is a 320x240 size movie, fit for a PPC screen and the icon is about 15x15 pixels. It's tough to design icons, so I figure people with better design skills have tackled this years before me. Anyone have some ideas for me?

IE also continues this convention, FWIW. __________________ Current PDA: Casio E-125*. Past: Casio CQ-1 c. 1977. Seiko UC-3000, c. 1986. Casio B.O.S.S c. 1991. We all live in a Yellow Submarine.
