Blogging Help Requested: Favicons

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! icon smile Blogging Help Requested: Favicons

    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.
