Bluehost's favicon keeps reappearing even after i delete it on my site (http://www.vipercreations.com). its not linked in any of my pages too.
no matter how many times i delete it, it still comes back, to all of my 4 sites hosted with you guys.

what do i do?

I tried just using the 1st method (favicon.ico in the root directory) but that did not seem to do the trick. So, I tried using the 2nd method as well (adding the link in the <head> section) and voila! It worked!

I now have my own, somewhat lame, personalized site logo!

Good luck!

i use this method in the <head> of all documents, and put the favicon.ico file in ALL directories that serve html/php..

<head>
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<other head stuff>
</head>

I tried changing my icon but with no joy. The icon image seems to be cached somewhere on my machine (winXP). I tried clearing the firefox cache but still no joy.:confused:

Oh... I also noticed that the icon does not show up at all on IE6??

The icon was made using the editor under Visual Studio.net 2003.

Any ideas?
