also your code is wrong
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/favicon.ico" />
Open up index.html, and add this line after any meta tags in the HEAD section but before the </head>.

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yoursitedotcom.here/favicon.ico">

If you are in a user directory, without a domain, add something like this instead:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yoursitedotcom.here/yourdir/favicon.ico">
I did only use a paint package for it, I just find it odd that I can get it to display, but only once you refresh it. At that point it's no different to a normal picture?

So, can I use a .jpg?

Also, everywhere else in my coding, I use '/picturename.jpg' for pictures in the root directory. I don't have to use the full address. What's that all about?
