favicons in publisher 2003 website

I'm trying to get a favicon added to my site. Says I need to add the
following html code to the <head> code

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

Then I have to add the favicon.ico image to the root directory.

I found a favicon generator site. Anybody have experience with this?

I can preview the code in a web preview but I can't insert and save it. I
tried adding a code fragment.

I'm publishing http, so I added the ico image to my network places server.

It didn't work. Any suggestions...

If the file is in your root directory, I wouldn't think you would need
the slash before the file name.

I created an ico file, uploaded it to my server and it seems to work.
From what I understand, though, it may not show up the first time you
view the site, especially if you don't do a forced refresh. Not to
mention some browsers treat ico files differently.

All this aside - the use of favicons may fall under that ubiquitous
"style over substance" heading. Eye candy. Looks nice, does nothing!

so did you put it in as a code frgment or did you edit the code? Give me
step by step what you did so I know if I did it correctly.

TBO,

I don't remember how I did it. :-(

More than likely, since I know very little about coding, I followed the
instructions on a page from a Google search, such as this one:
http://accessfp.net/faviconico.htm

Then, I added the following to my page (the program I have lets me do
this by pasting the code to <head>:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

I wish I could be more help.

David,

One could always publish the pages to disk, then open the html file in
Notepad or a similar editor.
