Forcing IckEee (Internet Explorer) to Display Your Favicon

I rarely take the time to create a Favicon, but when I do — like for this particular blog — it would be nice if it was actually used by the browser. Without getting into a rant, if you use a REAL browser like Opera… or that “other” browser (aka Firefox)… then it’s not an issue. It’s only an issue if you use IckEee as your main browser. (See? No rant. grin. But no link to FF either. teehee) To make a Favicon show up in IE’s address bar, here’s the trick: Drag the blue E favicon off of the address bar with your mouse and drop it anywhere on the web page; when you let go IE will reload and replace the icon in the address bar with the Favicon for the site. I tried it, it works! Thanks to my friend and teaching partner at LVS Online, Kat (Kathy Clark) for the tip.
