Those of you who have a website and a “favicon” that is not resident as “favicon.ico” at your WWW root, you can use the following mod_rewrite rule in your .htaccess file to point to its real location:

# Move "favicon" from root
RewriteRule ^favicon.ico /path/to/your/icon.ico [QSA]

This will allow your icon to show up in places where a meta tag won’t. For example, Bloglines only looks for site.com/favicon.ico.
