I see RW has finally encoded an .ico file in its mark-up. Congrats!

clear as mud

The ICO file format is an image file format used for icons in Microsoft Windows. The CUR file format for cursors is almost identical, as the only differences are the identification byte and a specification of a hotspot in the header.

ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and colour depths.

The official IANA registered MIME type for ico files is image/vnd.microsoft.icon. Before this was registered, image/x-icon was the accepted option that complied with the rules of using x- for unregistered tokens. However, many others are seen, including image/ico, image/icon, text/ico, and application/ico. Many web servers do not come configured with a MIME type setting for .ico files, and may send their default MIME type, which might be text/html or text/plain.

Except I have the recent headlines page bookmarked, which is iconless.

If your website doesn't do this, then do this.

Put this line between the html head statement, and before the title statement and it will show the icon of your design/choice in the address bar

The icon name is your choice and it should point to the file folder path of the ico file.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/folder/IconName.ico"

Remove the opening brace < which I put to stop any confusion with a browser/search engine reading this.
