I created a favicon for my website and named it as "favicon.ico".
The favicon was uploaded to my website.
I tested it by opening my webpage and saved it in my Favorites.
I see that my own icon but with the name of "Meta" instead of
www.CraigK.com.

I uploaded "CraigK.ico" instead of favicon.ico. The results were the same.
I have no clue to the name of Meta. Please advise me to how to attach my
website name instead of meta.
TIA.

Hi Craig,

Navigating to craigk.com is redirected to bigfoot.com. (Right click on page
and display the document properties). Saving the page to favorites creates a
title of http--craigk--com. It appears that you are using a free hosting
service? You should consult with bigfoot for instructions on uploading your
own favicon. You could also when you add your home page to favorites choose
to save as an off-line copy. Open the favorites property page and change the
icon for the shortcut to your own.

Regards.
 
Hi,
I solved the problem. When I checked index html page, <Title>/</title>
was missing.
When I revised by adding theTitle line, the problem was fixed.
Thanks.

Hi Craig,

I would also recommend adding a link tag into all of your pages so that the
icon can be displayed in the address bar.

<head>
....
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
....
</head>
