LiQuiD_FuSioN How do I enter in the code?

<link rel="shortcut icon"type="image/x-icon"href="http://freefilehosting.net/show/NTc3MjQ=" />

LiQuiD_FuSioN I don't understand where/what to input for the code.

sdn Put it into your header insert.

LiQuiD_FuSioN I mean, what do I put in the actual code?

link rel = "what goes here?" "image/x-icon"??? Not sure what to input for that.

sdn That part doesn't need editing. The working code should look like this, except for the part in blue.

code:

<link rel="shortcut icon"type="image/x-icon"href="ICON URL HERE" />



Change the part in blue to the icon's URL.

LiQuiD_FuSioN Holy crap, it worked!

So, it has to be an "ico" file then? Would it work if it was just a plain jpeg?

sdn You can probably use a JPEG if you get rid of type="image/x-icon". It might not work in some browsers.
