Problem Getting Link Icons To Display

I’m a novice with CSS and PHP, so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. But I’ve searched this forum, read the documentation, and looked at several sites and have not been able to figure it out.

I want to display icons next to links (I’ll be using the favicons for each site, most likely). I know I’ll eventually have to do some tricky things to make both the icon and the link name display, but for now I’m just trying to get the link icons to display.

On my testing site (www.popehat.dreamhosters.com) I’ve enabled images in both link categories and put a link URI in one of the link descriptions (the “octopus overlords” one) using the address nomenclature suggested in the docs. (/wp-content/uploads/favicons/octopusoverlords.png). I’ve created that directory and put the .png file there.

It doesn’t display.

Now I read that I should edit the get_links commands and make sure the “display images” command is set to “TRUE”. But I can’t find them in this theme. Can I simply create a get_links command and insert it? If so, where would I insert it?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
