Adding Favicon to a Website

Question

So i'm trying to add a favicon to my website but everytime I open the site the favicon doesn't show. So in my main template file I have this:

<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="images/favicon.ico"  />

But my site looks like this: enter image description here

I've tried refreshing the cache and going into incognito but nothing seems to work...any ideas?

Take a look at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=51270. It seems like using file:// with a favicon won't work in Chrome. Star the issue if you want to see it fixed!

First kudos for doing something most revs overlook. I wrote a blog post with some resources on favicons a few months ago.
