this is EXACTLY what I’m trying to do and so the first thing I noticed when I came on your site on my spiffy new Flock browser (www.flock.com - this has got to be the best social media..web browsin’ browser ever.) was your favicon lol!

Thank you SO much for this! oh how I heart thee!

Nice plugin!

I am just wondering why it doesn’t show in Internet Explorer, I can see your favicon working fine in Firefox though, did you try it with IE?

I love your favicon. CUTE.

I have one already, but this could be useful in the future. Thanks!

Oh and my problem is I’ve tried everything I can think of to get avatars to show up in my comment section, I think it’s a problem with my actual template?

Hi JEMi,

I haven’t looked at my favicon in Flock, but since you mention it, I’ll have to check it out.

And…you’re welcome.

Hi Natural,

I know you did yours with coding quite awhile ago. I tried, but it got too confusing for me.

Hi Axecity,

I didn’t test it in IE. Unfortunately some things work great in Firefox but in IE they don’t (including some themes). I’m not techy enough to figure out why.

Hi Sara,

You’re welcome. Hopefully you find the process as easy as I did.

Hi Vered,

Thanks!

Hi John,

You bring up a good point. Plugins don’t work with all blogging platforms and/or standard website.

Re: the avatars in your comment section. Maybe someone reading this will have an answer for you.

Hi Akemi,

Yes, this is the first plugin that asked for an email address, but I’m not too concerned with that. Our email addresses are all over cyberspace (from leaving comments). I rely on my spam filter to weed out any new spam.

I did get a great (email) newsletter from the author (of this plugin) with a list of his other plugins. It wasn’t at all spammy, so that I didn’t mind. With plugins being free, it’s a good way to bring attention to the creator (of the plugin) and get them some recognition.

Hi Barbara: Yes, I can see your little favicon next to your URL, I like it. I want to get avatars for my comment section and then I’ll come back to this post to follow the steps you outline here. Thanks for the info!

Ya see…This is why I love your blog…I get good stuff all the time.

Hi Chris,

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the blog.

Hi Ellen,

You could try using a different color “W” as well a different font.

Ok I can’t see it in IE.

So it looks like I need to do some more fiddling with it. The tutorial I mentioned above is where she offers some troubleshooting for the favicon and IE.

Good night everyone- Getting late for me.

I don’t understand why a plugin is used for this. I just upload my favicon to the root level of my hosting account of any website or blog, i.e. the same place as where index.php or index.html is. It’s no more difficult than uploading a new theme. I wonder if I am missing something! (eg. cross-browser compatibility)

Cheers, Robin

Hi Robin,

A plugin is great for people like me who are not that tech savvy about uploading to their root folders, let alone creating a favicon.

No, I don’t think you’re missing anything, you’re just more advanced in the backend stuff than I am.

Hi Shilpan,

Like Robin, you’re one up on me.

Hi Gert,

I didn’t mean to bring your server down when I linked to you, but I am glad the link brought you some traffic. I like to give credit where credit is due, and it was on your site where I first learned of this plugin.

Thanks for coming by. Hope to see you here again.
