I created a favicon.ico and I can't get it to display in my browser. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">
	<title>Untitled</title>
	
</head>

<body>

Test

</body>
</html>

Is your browser IE? I've found that most of the time IE won't show the favicon unless the page has been saved as a bookmark. And in that case, it also has to be saved as a bookmark AFTER the favicon has been uploaded. Try in firefox and see if it works, ff usually doesn't have problems displaying it right away.

i thought it was the other way around.

try using both the icon and shortcut icon rels.

Code: 
<link rel="icon" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.blah.com/favicon.ico"[/URL] type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.blah.com/favicon.ico"[/URL] type="image/x-icon" />
