Can someone give me the lowdown on favicons

Man, this is freaking me out. Some pages work, some do not even when using the above suggestions. Cleo, are you using a "png" type image? I thought it had to be "ico". Maybe something is screwy with my image file...I'll see what Google can dig up again.

Saving as a .ICO file in GIMP or Photoshop had mixed results for me. Try saving your file as a .BMP and then renaming it to an .ICO. I hope this might help.

If it's working sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.... I'd figure it to be a browser problem. For some reason it seems to take a couple of browser reloads when i update or add a favicon.

just an idea.

I'm using ico that I make using this app although I used a Photoshop plugin for my older ones.

Wikipedia has a page that seems to be useful.
