Hi Nancy do I have to change the mark-up on the pages

I would remove the other icons file from server and all references to it in your <head> tag.

Just link to the single favicon image at your domain and see if that works.

Hi I have look at the two ways Nancy & Jon have said and they look a bit difficult, so what I have done is I taken the info from my other site: http://www.qualitycarpets.net/ and put in on my new site: http://www.jfix.co.uk/ changed the pictures of course but it still don’t work I think I’m close but I’m just missing something, I have gone on the site in incognito but still the same.

Thanks Jeff

Jeff, did you upload icons to your server? I'm getting 404 not found on all of these.

Have you tried the online converters like: ConvertICO.com - Convert PNG to ICO and ICO to PNG

Also, you're not using "fabicon" for any part of the name are you?

(it's "favicon")
