i know there is a way of changing your icon that shows beside the web desription if someone saves your page as a favorite/bookmark (ie instead of displaying the standard ie icon)<br />
<br />
anyone know what i mean or how it's done??<br />
<br />

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO<br />
anyone else?<br />
I just had someone else look at it who said it wasnt working<!--content-->I didn't get it on win2000 and IE6, but then again mine at my site doesn't work either on this machine. if you have favicon.ico in the root folder it will work for 90% of all users. notice I said 90%....<br />
<br />
IE automatically looks for it on load of the site.<!--content-->hrmmm<br />
oh well<br />
<br />
thanks scoutt<br />
<br />
it appears to be working in some cases, but not others. <br />

<br />
I wouldn't call it a gimmick. It catches my eye when I go through my bookmarks and see all of these icons. Besides, it adds a little bit of *oooo* factor and professionalism.<!--content-->Well, I havent seen what that site tells you to do, but in my site I use a very simple code(one line):<br />

<br />
<br />
Hope it helps.<!--content-->theoretically you don't even need that. IE by default looks for it. not sure if NS or others can use that link tag.<br />
<br />
hmmm something to experiement with.<!--content-->Also, it should be noted that if anyone here shares ISP then they may have retrieved a cached page (if someone went to your site earlier). After a couple of days though everyone should get the favicon (I think).<!--content-->that sounds reasonable, but I have never gotten mine or anybody elses, on this machine in the year I have had it, to work, and no it isn't a firewall problem 
lol<!--content-->Do you not get one when you got to my site? Try clicking favourites (you may as well save the pickup page I send you as a favourite anyway )<br />
<br />
Firewalls? Why? Do they cause problems? hehe
