Hair, Hair, Everywhere – the Recession Edition

Experience, Not Stuff

Experience, not stuff: I've decided to make this my mantra to live by. It'll be hard, because I like nice things (ex: shoes), but guess which of the following I remember the most? (a) A $100 leather jacket purchased in Buenos Aires, that I've worn ONCE in 3 years. (b) A $45 hour-long horse ride on ...

Pure Altruism - Does it Exist?

Every time the holidays come around, feel-good human-interest stories surface. This is a time to give to others, help those in need, and realize that the world is not as cutthroat or as competitive as we may believe. But is it true? Can people be purely altruistic? The authors of Superfreakonomics (the ...

The Price of Addiction To Argentine Tango

The Price of Addiction To Argentine Tango

It's happened. I fell for the sultry dance, hard. (I even made its own category!) I leave class with a big smile on my face. I read Argentine tango forums and blogs. I fall asleep thinking of boleos and molinetes. I'm not sure how my wallet feels about the possible financial ...

New Cars are shiny, gleaming, loaded with the latest technology and features.

Blogging Help Requested: Favicons

by WellHeeled on November 24, 2009

I’ve been trying to put a favicon, but for some reason it’s not showing up. If you can please take a look at my blog in Firefox or IE and let me know if you see a red heel icon right next to my hyperlink in the address bar, I would appreciate that very much.

And if you can’t see it… can someone help me troubleshoot? I’m almost 100% sure I uploaded the correct format to my root directory (public_html), that I typed in the correct text to insert the favicon, and I referred to the favicon file by the appropriate name (i.e. favicon.ico).

Here’s the text I typed into the header scripts section: <link rel=”shortcut icon” type=”image/ico” href=”favicon.ico”>

I can’t offer you anything except my sincerest gratitude…. and this Twilight parody! Okay, yes, I admit that I have written a few posts on the Twilight book series [here and here], but that doesn’t mean I can’t also appreciate a good sarcastic poke at sparkly vampires! Here’s a Truth About Twilight by The Oatmeal that you might appreciate, thanks to The Debt Chronicles.

Please help if you can. Thanks so much! :)

Your favicon shows up. Sometimes you just have to clear your cache for it to show up!

I don't see it, but I have no idea what a favicon is so I can't help troubleshoot…(I'm on Internet Explorer BTW).

i see it in firefox.

and also on my work website i didn't add that code to the header (that site doesn't use a template so i would've had to add it individually to every single page) all i did was upload the favicon.ico file to the root directory and it showed up fine.
