<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
You should also make sure that your favicon is placed both in the root directory of your site, as well as in your wordpress folder if you have one. -

Put the image favicon.ico in the right directory. For example, here it is in the directory images in

So, basically that's all you need to make your icon appear. If there's a <meta> tag on the page it will override the fore mentioned default favicon.
Sometimes browsers cache the favicon for long periods. You may need to refresh the page several times or better - close the browser window and start the browser again. -

Your favicon.ico is located in your template directory.
so this one should be on your header.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
if something like this already exist, try replacing it.
if not, then try adding that one below the
<title></title>

1. Upload the favicon.ico on your root directory /public_html or /www
2. put the above code on the header.php
I check your link the the favicon shows up, See the attachment below..- 08/03/11 8:03pm

You can even upload a png file for a better favicon resolution ;)
Nice site btw!
