Makes it all worthwhile. You've got some clever directory stuff going on there, but it works so all is good. And no, you're not going to see it in the admin backend dashboard.

I didn't expect you to answer so fast, so I was playing around with it. But I got it to work only by putting the icon in the /wordpress folder and pointing the code line to it: When I try to pull up the ico file that I place in the root directory where all the WP files are, it doesn't show up. But when I put it in the empty Wordpress folder, it does. Weird, huh? On my other blog, www.pound-a-week.com (using your same directions), it worked fine, but not on this one!). Oh well, all's well that ends well, huh? The favicon still doesn't show up on the dashboard page, but who cares since I'm the only one who sees that! I really did appreciate your post and instructions, and you incredibly fast response. Barbara Hi,Kevin …
