How do I add a "shortcut icon" to my blog?
I created a shortcut icon for my blog and uploaded favicon.ico via the "images" utility. I added to the mainskin but the icon did not load.
I deleted the existing "image" and uploaded it again, this time specifying the icons height and width as the "image" measurements were "unspecified", but this makes no difference.
I would be grateful if somebody could tell me how to get this working. Thanks in Advance.

1) put this into mainskin (head):
link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.antville.org/gd/johnwalsh/favicon.ico" / (within brackets, "<" and ">", of course)
2) add the favicon.ico to the files(!), NOT to images!
3) clean the icon(!)-cache of your browser and reload your page (and remember: some browsers do not show favicons)

Thanks docbuelle
That code worked, but I don't know why the code I used didn't work (pointing to img directory) as it works for beyond the void.
