The information is correct, it's actually the browser that ruins it.
IE only loads favicon information when you bookmark a web site. Then, when
you clean out the termporary internet files it nukes the icon again.
FireFox and Mozilla will list the favicons for sites whether they are
bookmarked or not (and FireFox even changes the icon in front of a bookmark
to match the site's favicon)
There is no way to get it to always appear in IE though except as already
mentioned.
Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Is there another way to do this? I found out that if you put an icon
named favicon.ico in your website root then some browsers will display it.
This doesn't appear to work in IE though. I also tried to do what the
link you provided says to do and it worked when I loaded my site's home
page but after I logged in and went to another page it no longer displays
(even though I checked the source and it shows that the <link> tag is
there).
