Uploading a Favicon to my charity website?
Ok I have created a favicon and saved it as favicon.ico in pictures on my computer.
the website I have www.aid4egypt.co.uk is hosted by 123.reg so I don’t have access to certain things but I can edit etc and add HTML codes on pages with their sitebuilder.
I have tried the code below but it does not seem to work any suggestions?
<html>
<head> <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.aid4egypt.co.uk/favicon.ico">
</head>
</html>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
in the head section.
do not forget to upload the icon to your root directory.
Favicons do not always appear immediatly, they can take a few hours to show up.
The image itself should be uploaded to your website. It should be placed in the root, as that is where you link to.

I’ve not checked the code, I think it’s a server configuration problem.
I started checking the code by checking the link:
http://www.aid4egypt.co.uk/favicon.ico
I get a "403 Forbidden" error, if users are getting this error then their browser cannot and will not show the icon because they cannot access it.
With a favicon.ico all you need to do is upload it to the root directory of the website, no HTML code is necessary for it to work; the browser checks that location by default.
