Having trouble getting a favicon to work at www.timwhittingham.com

I have the file favicon.ico, 16x16px ftped to the root, www directory and I edited template.php in the theme to put

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

in the <head> section.

Those were just instructions I googled. The other instructions didn't work either. Is there some reason why not?

Place the .ico file in your theme directory, and use below code.
Code:
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="<?php get_theme_url(); ?>/favicon.ico">
Addons: blue business theme, Online Visitors, Notepad

Well, sometimes your browser caches it.
Please try the following
go to the URL of the old favicon. if you see the old one, press CTRL+F5 to refresh cache.
Then go back to your website. do a CTRL+F5 there.
That should work!
