Bluehost logo

[charlesp]

When I view a page that's on Bluehost's server there is a little blue logo on the tab in the browser. How do I get rid of this little square or replace it with something else?:o

It's the favicon.ico

You can make one and drop it in your public_html folder ... then refresh your browser and you'll see the new icon OR you can add an html line like ...


<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

... and choose different icons for different webpages. Oh put it between the HEAD tags :)

I tried this and it didn't work. Just deleting it - the BH icon was still in the address line. There must be somewhere else that it is kept. I tried uploading my own and it doesn't show up. Can you think of anything else???:(

It's cached.

I not clearing my cache with F5, control F5 or shift reload button. Is there another way?

[Basil]

Yes, you can either go directly to example.com/favicon.ico and ctrl+F5, or you can go to tools>clear private data in firefox or tools>internet options>(browsing history) delete in IE7 or "delete files" in IE6.

Of course there's always the possibility that it wasn't actually replaced..

Tools -> clear private data - worked.:D
