 * I have tried to place a favicon in my header php, but maybe I have a problem 
   with finding the root of my site. It doesn´t work.
 * It looks like this – and I have put the icon om my server podblog.dk/
 * <?php wp_head(); ?>
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”[http://www.podblog.dk/wp/favicon.ico&#8221](http://www.podblog.dk/wp/favicon.ico&#8221);/
   > </head>

 * Hello
 * The .ico file does not seem to be in this location: [http://www.podblog.dk/wp/favicon.ico](http://www.podblog.dk/wp/favicon.ico)
 * Is that what you are saying, that it is not in the /wp folder, it is in the root
   of your server?
 * If so, you can either move the .ico file into the /wp folder, or you can remove
   the /wp from the path to the .ico file.
 * If not, than make sure the .ico file is uploaded to the correct path.
 * Hope this helps 🙂

 * Do I upload via ftp or via wordpress itself?

 * Your favicon is located here: [http://www.podblog.dk/favicon.ico](http://www.podblog.dk/favicon.ico)
 * For the dimensions go for 16×16 (256 colours).
 * Not sure, but for example I think that IE only supports 16×16.

 * Hi – still problems 🙂
 * The icon is now here [http://podblog.dk/wp-includes/favicon.ico](http://podblog.dk/wp-includes/favicon.ico)
 * Converted to .ico 16 x 16
 * and I put it in the WP-editor like this
 * <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
    <?php //comments_popup_script();?
   > <?php wp_head(); ?> <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”[http://podblog.dk/wp-includes/favicon.ico&#8221](http://podblog.dk/wp-includes/favicon.ico&#8221);/
   > </head>
 * What did I overlook????

 * Hello
 * The .ico is displaying just fine! 😀
 * In Internet Explorer you have to bookmark the url for the .ico to display in 
   the address bar.
