Can you see the favicon?
September 2nd, 2007I have added a favicon to my new site so that you know at a single glance that this is mandarine’s place.
Could you let me know in the comments if you cannot see the eye appear in the address bar, in the tabs or in the bookmark folder? Tip: these things are a little capricious. You should force some kind of page refresh (try CTRL-SHIFT-R or clear the browser’s cache from the browser’s settings).
IE tip: I had to check before I believed, but if you are under IE and the favicon does not show, right-button-dragging the address from the address bar onto the page seems to trigger favicon refresh.
I am trying to get the icon to show in feedreaders too, but this seems a little too complicated right now.
Resources
If you have a full wordpress version (i.e. not a wordpress.com blog), you can do likewise. These are the resources I used:
It’s not appearing for me in any of those places. It’ll be kind of cool once it works!
I have tried to add some tips for refreshing. Also try to click the image — apparently it helps the refresh. Browser behaviour inconsistency is the realm of superstition. Maybe I should do a favicon dance or burn some incense.
Now it works! And I didn’t have to try any of the refreshing stuff, it just worked. Cool!
I knew my favicon dance would soothe the favicon spirit.
It works for me. It is very nice–I always like websites that use these since they look so much better than the plain white page icon.
I am glad you like it. I am lucky mandarine has such a gaze, too.
I can see it, and I love it. It’s got a nice, eerie sort of quality to it.
