a) check that the image is called "favicon.ico"

b) check that it is uploaded in the root directory

It won't always show up right away anyway, try deleting the bookmark...clearing out your temp files, rebookmarking and then it might show up if it feels like it :lol:

You can't include it with your CSS, but if your server supports SSI/PHP then you can use those includes... in that case it would be probably be useful too convert your whole site over.

tk makes your page with a frame, so you CANNOT use fav icons, thats why i dont like tk... just tell people to go directly to your page
