I rolled out an update last night on my icon table generator. For those who might not know about it, the generator helps you post icons (or other similar photos) in batches on your Livejournal, similar to this one, for example. You just enter your URLs in a form, and it generates the HTML for you. There are currently 4 templates to choose from.

The update now allows you to include section headers in your icon post. This is useful for those multi-fandom icon posts ;) Sample output could be seen at this multi-fandom icon post of mine.
