  I have a .png file I want to insert as a favico.ico item. Can’t change the name either.
  Also not sure where in the script the icon is placed for the browser to recognize it.

  .png is a linux equivalent .jpg….might have to find something else?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  PNG images work just fine as blavatars. You can use a PNG, a GIF, or a JPG. WordPress will convert all those as required.

  Hi thesacredpath
  Worked great on the wp.org site which is where I wanted it to
  http://www.memreinforcement.ca
  For some reason when I cropped it on wp.com it wouldn’t allow it for security reasons
  Oh well…no worries

  Thankyou and Season’s Greetings!

  The “security reasons” message usually comes up when the image is not a gif, png or jpg.

  What type of image was it you were trying to use here?

  I renamed it to ‘favicon.ico. It was a png. It doesn’t really matter
  as the wp.org site is the important one.

  I had to name it that for it to be recognised by the web-browser.

  Thanxs Again

  I have uploaded a new blavatar twice, once about 4 weeks ago and again 2 days ago. They both said they were successful uploads and I would “see it around wordpress soon,” but it never shows? Whatsup?

  @truthdefender, the site linked to your username is not a wordpress.COM blog. If you are talking about a wordpress.COM blog, then we need a link to that blog please.
