    I have searched the forums for help on this issue with no luck.

    I uploaded a file favicon.ico to the root directory. When I try to go to http://www.juxtaexposed.com/favicon.ico it gives me an error message:
    The image “http://www.juxtaexposed.com/favicon.ico” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

    Why is this? I can’t get my favicon to show up because of this. Any suggestions?

    a file, favicon.ico ?? what kind of file. a .ico file, one that IS actually is one? You cant rename a .gif to an .ico for instance.

    I don’t think there is reason to add /favicon.ico to the URI you list above.You are asking your browser to open the icon file. http://www.juxtaexposed.com works just fine, but you are correct, I don’t see a favicon.

    Make sure your favicon is the correct size and that your header.php contains the favicon information.

    Take a look here.

    Check your source… see the slash in “/favicon.ico” ?

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

    Should that be there?

    thats not the issue clayton, the icon is generating an error, most likely because its NOT an ico file.

    thanks for the quick feedback everyone! it is working now.

    the problem was indeed that it was not properly saved as an .ico file… somehow the photoshop plugin i used to make that file did not work. but i converted it using the site that you linked above and it works now.
