where is it exactly?  it needs to be in /www or /public_html.  The directions mean you need to put it in the root of your webspace.

I also think its in incorrect file format as when I try to call

http://www.blueuniverse.co.uk/favicon.ico

I get a nice red X.

I get a nice little blue planet type logo thing when I type in favicon.ico like you showed me in the link. It is in the public_html bit

Brian when you say that do you mean you can see it in the address bar or that the fishfreek link worked?

The blue sphere with arrow flying round it?

Yeah I can see it because I have Mozilla Firebird!
I thoght you are supposed to have a in the head section that specifies the icon location, not sure though.

I run IE6 and i dont see a thing.  When i go to your URL plus favicon.ico I get a red X.  When i visit my own site and enter that I see my favicon.ico image so i know its not my browser.

IE is notoriously bad at favicon\'s - even though I think it was an MS idea in the 1st place!

Can you guys see my favicon when on www.blueuniverse.co.uk

It is there (favicon.ico is in the root directory) but when I am surfing it I cannot see it

Any idea why this might be

It says all you need to do is put the favicon.ico file in your home directory and it should work
