Adding a Favicon to your Site
Question:
What is a Favicon and how can I add one to my site?
Answer – What is a Favicon:
A favicon (short for “favorites icon”), also known as a “website icon”, “shortcut icon”, “url icon”, or “bookmark icon” is a 16×16 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage.
Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s address bar and next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page’s favicon next to the page’s title on the tab.
Answer – How can I add a Favicon to my site:
1) Go to http://www.favicon.cc and create your own favicon or just pick a pre-made one.
2) Use a Filemanager provided by your hosting provider (or an FTP Client) and upload the icon as “favicon.ico” to your root/home folder.
3) Log into WordPress
4) Go to “Appearance” -> “Editor”
5) Locate the Header (header.php) file in the file list on the right.
6) Add the following code just below the opening header tag
