I used the favicon site to create an icon for my address bar (thanks to
Kathleen for her help.) I was able to load it onto my site, but I'm not sure
how I did that now that I need to change the icon. I believe that I have
deleted the old favicon from every inch of my computer, and have downloaded
my new favicon to my desktop, and saved it to my index page (like I though I
had done last night) but it will not change on the net. On the mainpage of
the site I save the "File name" as http://www.sitename.com/favicon. But this
isn't working. Help, please and thank you!

needs to have .ico extension and just sit in the root directory...you don't link to it or place it on a page...just let it be in the root.

forgot to finish... Import the favicon.ico from your desktop to your root directory of your open FP web, save, then publish. You may want to delete your old one first.

???

I think you need this:

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">

Place that in the <HEAD> </HEAD> section of the index.html page.

You can call it something other than favicon.ico if you wish but if
there's something else called favicon.ico in the root you should delete
or rename that one.
