I know how to find a favicon (or so I thought) but this site is different:
http://www.apple.com/
See if you can find out where their favicon is (if you would paste the link to it if you find it).
I was just gonna analyze it, but now it is a matter of principal that I couldn't find it :)
Looks like they aren't using proper tags in <head> but just slapping it into http://www.apple.com/favicon.ico
http://apple.com/favicon.ico -- just verified this file exists

I am making a blog with Github. I forked from someone else's and only edited the words. So I don't really have basic knowledge of web programming.
The problem is the path doesn't go to the right page when I attach the picture. It kept shows an error.
I figured out why the error shows up, but I can't find how to solve this problem.
Path (which should be worked):
https://github.com/babydoyaji/babydoyaji.github.io/blob/master/assets/img/TIL210105/0105_1.png
What I put:
I also put this. But this doesn't work too.
This page shows up. (/blog path should not exist):
https://github.com/babydoyaji/babydoyaji.github.io/blob/master/blog/assets/img/TIL210105/0105_1.png
The result :

I can't find how to take off that /blog from the path.
The one solution I am thinking is moving the img folder inside the blog folder, but I don't want to put folders like that.
If anyone knows how to remove the /blog from the path with markdown code, please help me.
Thank you.
i am using favicon this code.
<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
But favicon is automatically downloading in browser.
Please help us how can we resolve this issue..
My advice:
In the HTML declaration, use an absolute path (ie. /images/favicon.ico), to avoid any relative path issue.
Download the file manually (eg. download http://yourwebsite.com/images/favicon.ico) and open it with an image editor. This is to make sure that your web server really returns your favicon.ico file and not something else. When a file does not exist, some web servers are configured to return some content, such as a "Oops!" web page, instead of a plain 404 error. This can trick the browser.
When opening your page, enable your favorite web debuging tool (Firefox+Firebug, Chrome console...), select the Network tab to look at the HTTP exchanges and spot the access to favicon.ico. Check the Mime type: it should be image/x-icon (or maybe something similar). If you see something really suspicious, such as application/octet-stream, there must be something wrong on the server side.
Am just beginning with joomla on a site that is already existing and was previously managed by someone else who is not available at the moment. I am trying to troubleshoot a problem why the website is displaying the header differently in different PCs but I am not being able to find the image of that header file. I tried to look for it under "site > media" but cannot find the image among the images in that area. I also tried to look for the path to the image through the template css and found this path ../images/logo.png which I believe must be the path to the header image but I honestly don't really know which path ../images/logo.png is but assuming it is the one under "media" then I still cannot find the image. Could you give me a clue on where the header image files could be found cause I've actually still failed? Or, could you make me understand this path ../images/logo.png or how to find an image on a joomla admin interface like say "logo.png". In fact I discover that on looking at the CSS for the template, the image paths found in it are not found in "Media"? Is there another path for the images in the template and how do I access them? I cannot FTP my host at the moment to view the physical files due to the long procedure needed so am hoping that there is a way to find it. I only have joomla admin access and nothing like Cpanel as yet. The joomla version of the site is 1.5.22 which I know is an old one but I plan to do first things first. Hope I've given enough infor.
Try using FireBug, or Chrome debugger - (press F12) and check "Click an element in the page to inspect" to see where the specific image is located exactly.
I need to put favicon.ico outside the root of the web site.
Can i place it in another path or it may penalize some old browser?
If you put favicon.ico in another directory and declare it in the HTML (eg. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/icon/favicon.ico">), the favicon will work, including on IE5, the first browser to support favicons. However, you will encounter the following (minor) drawbacks:
IE (and maybe some others) will look for /favicon.ico no matter what. Expect some 404 errors in your HTTP server logs.
Some browsers, like Chrome, will use favicon.ico even if you also declare high resolution PNG favicon pictures. Of course, if you only use favicon.ico as the favicon picture, this is not a concern.
In general, this is a good practice to put all favicon-related file in the root directory of the web site. See http://realfavicongenerator.net/faq#why_icons_in_root for more information (full disclosure: I am the author of this page).
Some browsers will always check for favicon.ico in the root folder. Won't break anything if absent, though.
How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up?
I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site.
Thanks
Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.
You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

I found this on wikipedia, which seems to well describe what you are asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.
There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)
favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
Make a square image and edit it the way that you want. Make sure that you don't add any small details. Next, go to http://www.favicon.cc.com/ . This site will convert your image to a supported .ico format. Rename the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory of your site. You should have a favicon in your browser now.
This icon, is a favicon, and you have to upload a file to your site if you want it. But if you want to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.
My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com
We did this, so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!
The file generated comes with a small explanation on what to do with the files. We will make it better, but it's a start.
Hope it helps!
