kaseytraeger Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I've created a 16x16 favicon for my blog. I started with a 16x16 bitmap image that I renamed to "favicon.ico". Next, I uploaded this to the directory /doggydiaries/favicon.ico. My blog is located at http://www.doggydiaries.pudgypuppy.com/, so I put the favicon in the /doggydiaries/ directory. When I view my blog, however, the favicon is noticeably absent. Instead, there's just a blank space where it should be displayed. Any idea how to fix this problem? Thanks!

TCH-Andy Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 It works for me. Try a refresh in your browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyFish Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I see it in Firefox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseytraeger Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thanks, I see it now, too. I don't know what the problem was because I had tried refresh when I didn't see it the first time. I guess it was a caching issue on my local machine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaJill Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 In most browsers favicons are not handled by the same caching mechanism as pages, and so can take some mind-boggling effort to get to show. I just give it a few reloads and eventually you'll look and be surprised that it's there. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceswithscissors Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 IE picked it up just fine, but it took a couple of *reloads* for Firefox to see it. It's there and it's neat looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunni Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I can't get it to show in my Firefox despite numerous refreshes. I had that problem when I used a favicon.ico. It would show up just fine in IE but never did display in Firefox. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseytraeger Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 For bunni and danceswithscissors, What version of Firefox are you running? I'm at work, and my install of Firefox is v0.8. This is the one that I had to clear the cache and history before being able to see the favicon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceswithscissors Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I'm using version 0.9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunni Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I'm using 0.9.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunni Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Kasey, I cleared my cache and it shows up just dandy in Firefox 0.9.2. Cute! I removed my favicon.ico because it was linked to a favicon website and the hits were throwing my stats off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
