You have both a <link rel="icon"> and a <link rel="shortcut icon">. You should only use one of them. <link rel="icon"> will only work in Mozilla, <link rel="shortcut icon"> will work in Mozilla and IE. The content-type for .ico files are not image/ico, it's image/x-icon. One of your <link>s point to /favico.ico, the other one to /favicon.ico. The slash makes it look for members.aol.com/favico[n].ico instead of members.aol.com/mkoenecke/favico[n].ico. Remove the two <link>s and insert this one instead: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="my-icon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/> That should do it. Change "my-icon.ico" to whatever the name of the icon is (it can be anything you want, not necessarily favicon.ico). -- 'Open Systems' means no fences.
