Don't know about IE7 (don't have it), but favicons do not show up in IE
6 and older until you bookmark the page. Even then they disappear when
you clear the cache.

Your icon looks fine to me.
Was this page generated by some Microsoft product?
See this for starters:
http://k75s.home.att.net/fontsize.html
...and do note that for the ~10% of your visitors who have JavaScript
turned off, unavailable, or stripped by their corporate firewall, your
page is nearly blank. Use JavaScript only for non-essential stuff, and
never depend on it for navigation, and most certainly never for display
of main content. Doing so is like turning your web server off for a
month every year.
Further, when JavaScript is on, your page is constantly loading
something. That is not friendly at all.

Transitioning from legacy code, are you? Use:
