Hugo: favicon.ico

[robotamer]

favicon.ico does not get copied over from the static folder, and when placed in to the root content folder it becomes an html file.

Can you provide more details?
I'm successfully placing it in my static folder and it ends up in the desired location.

favicon.ico is usually placed in the root folder, that is where browsers look for it.
If you place it in a sub folder then you have to also add a meta tag, otherwise the browser wont find it.
But meta tags are not supported by IE

When I added to the root folder I get an html file in the root filder
Like this : favicon.ico

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> 
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> 
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"><!--The 2010 IANA standard but not supported in IE-->

Put it in the root static folder. That will be copied to where you want.

Why did I think of that logic?

Anyhow, this whole blog thing has been bothering me for a log time.
I tried many things, from Wordpress all the way to my own script. and ended up spreading my stuff all over the place.
And finally there is is Hugo, and I am a happy camper.

Thank you
