IE9 meta isn't workin for me


Question

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't know it had to be pinned to the taskbar

Hey guys I am trying to use the new meta tags for ie9 but they aren't working! Does anyone know why?

http://firefox.thechillroom.com

		<meta name="application-name" content="Firefox Themes by Andrew Shay" />
		<meta name="msapplication-tooltip" content="Cool themes for Firefox!" />
		<meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Home;action-uri=http://firefox.thechillroom.com/;icon-uri=http://firefox.thechillroom.com/images/favicon.gif" />
		<meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Contact;action-uri=http://firefox.thechillroom.com/contact.php/;icon-uri=http://firefox.thechillroom.com/images/favicon.gif" />
		<meta name="msapplication-starturl" content="http://firefox.thechillroom.com" />
		<meta name="msapplication-navbutton-color" content="blue"/>

Unless I am missing something, it should be all correct. I checked Facebook and their jumplists weren't working. Bing didn't change the color of the back button, so I guess it's glitched. This makes me really sad!

Is it workin for you from my website? If so, would you mind posting a screenshot?

iv figured out it only works for me if you have a working image for the task items

ie this bit

;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico

so the full code for my beta site (check out the code on beta.thebettertwin.co.uk) would be

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

<meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Blog;action-uri=http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk/blog;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" />

<meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Portfolio;action-uri=http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk/portfolio;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" />

<meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Contact;action-uri=http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk/contact;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" />

<meta name="msapplication-starturl" content="http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk" />

<meta name="application-name" content="thebettertwin" />

<meta name="msapplication-tooltip" content="thebettertwin" />

<meta name="msapplication-navbutton-color" content="black"/>

so check your file paths and see if that works maybe?
