How do you change the favicons from a page or a browser default to something custom?

I use this code in the <head>:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.WEBSITEnameHERE.com/KEYWORDS_HERE_favicon.ico">
Whether it adds value to use keywords in image/file names, I am not sure, but I do it anyway!
I also use .gif image formats when generating my favicon in order to make the image background tansparent so it blends into each browser vs. displaying a white square on non-white browser backgrounds.
I have an example of this on the Free Tulip Pictures site linked below. The Orange Tulip favicon stands-alone against the background of any browser colour (which is sharper, imo, then having a white box around it).

GL and have fun!

TY - now to find where this script put the head tags... Not in any of the pages I've looked (index.php etc..) at yet it is there when I view the source form a browser.

Weird :S
Maybe if you have a CMS it's in there as a disseminated call-object (ie: seperate file), as I have a php cms script I bought and each file is seperated (header, footer, sidebar, nav, footer, etc), so I have to go to the seperate file to update it vs. the index file.
Once you get'er figured out - can you show us?

The site is running phpMyDirectory. I've checked the files in the root directory (index.php etc.) as well as the one in the template. :(
The site looks a mess, too. When I first set it up I just changed a few colors and the logos at the top. Now, I've added some adsense, changed the pictures to be better and contacted my wife's cousin about a logo.
Edit: How the hell did I miss it? It was in /templates/(template)/header.tpl
I'm a dummy.
Woohoo! Its working.
