Hi,
I put a new version of my site up and it has a new favicon. For some reason it is still using my old favicon even though I deleted it off of the server. the site is http://www.mattmdesign.com and the favicon is supposted to be a blue m. instead it is showing the old bright green m on black background. does anyone know why?
Thanks, Matt

It was in your cache.

IE looks to the browser cache first on favicons. Apparently it has expired from your cache. (they really did a crappy job with favicons even though they thought up the idea)
