|
|
Hello John,
My favicon - yellow T on blue background - shows in Mozilla but not in IE. I notice that the favicons of other blogharbor blogs show in IE, so can you tell me what's missing from my addition to HEAD - which looks like this in VIEW SOURCE of main page -
</script>
<link><META>
</head>
Many thanks,
Kerry at tasmanianphotographers.blogharbor |

Addenda: submitted the previous post only to see the code I pasted re my favicon completely gone!
Try again? It looks like this -
<link><META>

Sorry, John. When I preview the post here, the code appears - i.e. the additional HTML I put into the HEAD of my blog (following the instructions per this forum's previous posts on favicons), but when I submit it (twice in last five minutes) the code disappears. How can I demonstrate it otherwise?
Try yet again?
Here is the addition to my HEAD for favicon minus a few key code strokes of course in the hope it will show here -
link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/images/favicon19.gif

|
|
Hello again,
Sorry, but I have followed the links and directions again, and again, my favicon is visible in Firefox but not in IE. Perhaps I deleted some important code in the Security & Settings>Publishing> General... ADD additional HTML to HEAD when I deleted the previous icon a few months ago.
Can you give me ALL the code again that should appear there - everything that should appear between /script and /head when viewed at source - AND/OR should the CHAR etc etc. bit be there at all?
Thanks,
Kerry at tasmanianphotographers.blogharbor |

There is nothing that needs to be added to the code on your webpage, nothing. You simply need to do what is noted in the page I referred you to, you simply upload the icon file favicon.ico to the top level of your File Manager and that's it.
IE tends to hold onto its cache for a long time, and that's what is causing the problem. As Chuck once noted, "IE is stubborn and pernicious when it comes to cached items". So once you have a favicon.ico file uploaded, you may have to do a raindance to make IE see it.
One other thing, this image:
http://tasmanianphotographers.blogharbor.com/favicon.ico
is not an ICO format file, it's a GIF. To be sure, you should be creating a 16 x 16 gif. |

Hi John,
Thank you. Favicon now visible in IE because I have ICO formatted the icon -my Snagit app saves to Windows.ico.
