How to add favicon to my site? I am doing something wrong…
I added <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico"> between head section, my icon is 16×16 format .ico and is named favicon.ico. So what is going wrong?

Hi there,

Actually, you aren’t required to have the <link> tag provided your favicon file is placed in the root folder and its name is favicon.ico. These name and location are defaults for all browsers. The browser looks favicon.ico file in the website’s root folder even if there is no <link> tag in the page’s code. The <link> tag is useful if your favicon file is in another folder or its name is different. For instance,

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/img/favicon.ico" >

You can’t see your favicon because your browser’s cache has not been updated. Try cleaning your cache if you use Firefox or your Tempory Internet Files if you use IE, close the browser down, restart it and see if it loads then.

Cleaning Cache – Firefox:

Tools >> Options >> Advanced (tab) >> Network (tab) >> Click the "Clear Now" button next to Cache

Delete Temporary Internet Files – IE7:

Tools >> Internet Options >> General (tab) >> Click Delete button next to Browsing History >> New window pops up >> Click Delete next to Temporary Internet Files

Good luck with it!
