Where is the root for adding the favicon?

K

Kane

I think I have read all the threads here and the links and they all talk
about copying the favicon into the root directory of the website. I have
tried this several times and am not sure I am getting it in the right place.
I have also tried to add the html code as the reference and I think I am
doing this wrong as well.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

When you open your Web in FP you are at the root level.

Hi Kane,

The favicon needs to be at http://you.com/favicon.ico this is what's meant
by the root - ie the same folder as your home page. Once your icon is there
you can link it to your pages like this
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Cheers,
Jon

I inserted a link in the html code on the home page, but it still is not
showing. How do I troubleshoot?
