This novice is getting his tail kicked by this blasted
thing. I have imported it several times with out any
luck; I have added the HTML <link rel="shortcut icon"
href="favicon.ico"> with no sucess. Any ideas?
 
Yes, I have imported it into FP and published. When
attempting it a second time I receive a message saying it
already exists, do I want to replace it.
 
Ok, open you site directly in FP on the remote server, do you see the
favicon.ico file in the same location as your home page?

Was the icon actually generated with an icon generator? Simply renaming an
image to .ico isn't going to work.
 
Go into HTML view and chnage this:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.aboutgbs.com/favicon.ico><meta name="keywords"content="GBS, Guilain Barre Syndrome, IVIG, Plasmapheresis, spinal tap, Guillain Barre, EMG, NCS">

to this:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.aboutgbs.com/favicon.ico">
<meta name="keywords" content="GBS, Guilain Barre Syndrome, IVIG, Plasmapheresis, spinal tap, Guillain Barre, EMG, NCS">

I see you fixed the coding error. When I click on http://www.aboutgbs.com/favicon.ico I don't get the Page Not Found anymore, I get an empty web page. I did a View Source on it and got this:

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Favicon</title>
<!--mstheme--><link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/HEATHG~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/FrontPageTempDir/mstheme/network/netw1111.css">
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="network 1111, default">
</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Not sure why that is, but you might try reimporting the file and republishing.

Heath,
I just crawled your site with Sam Spade,
and there isn't a favicon.ico file in the root that I can see.

Are you sure it is in the root of your web??

Use Windows Explorer to browse to your webs root folder and see
if the icon is there.
 
Okay... I downloaded your site and opened your favicon.ico in an icon
generator and it said that your .ico is not a valid icon file. That's
probably your problem right there.

I suggest you try downloading an existing .ico file from someplace (for
hundreds of choices, try here http://www.iconarchive.com) and using that to
see if it works, code-wise. Then you can go about trying to create your own.

FYI... your site has some other problems. You have spaces in some of your
file names and also it is better if you only use lowercase letters in your
file names. I suggest you download two addins from
http://www.jimcoaddins.com, specifically Case Changer and Space Replacer.

HTH, Victoria
