I would like to create a favicon.ico for my domain. I have dropped favicon.ico file into the root folder and it does not show up.

any ideas?

I'll bet you'd put a link to your favicon in the index.php file in the root of Imagevue. It would go in the Head section but I don't know the exact code for it.

tomrock,

thanks for the tip!

i did some research and figured out the code for the index.php file.

For those looking to create a favicon.ico (this is a 16x16 pixel icon that is associated with your domain - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon)

I did the following and it worked:

1) design your icon in photoshop, don't put too much detail because it will be very small, you can see how it will really appear by creating an image size 16x16 pixels at 72 dpi and zoom to 100%
2) save it as a jpg with whatever name you want.
3) go to: www.favicon.co.uk/
4) browse for your saved file that you designed and generate the proper file. the website will create a file called favicon.ico
5) drop this file into the roof of Imagevue
6) now, edit the index.php file and insert the following after you see <head>

<head>
<link>

7) save changes and drop it back in.

good luck.
