Q and A: Why can't I see the favicon I just created?

Dear Kalena...

I tried to follow all your details to create a favicon in your article How to Create a Favicon for Your Web site, and I still don't see it on my site. I saved the pic as http://deadbeats1.bravehost.com/favicon.ico and also placed a html link into my main page as favicon.ico and it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? Hope you can help.

Thanks
Mike

Kalena's Answer:

Hi Mike

Your site is free-hosted on bravehost.com. Your favicon will never show on your site because your site doesn't have it's own domain. The only way your favicon would appear is if it was uploaded to the main public_html folder of bravehost.com (something they are unlikely to do as you are simply one of thousands of customers and they have their own favicon).

thanks
Kalena
