How To Create A Favicon For Your Wordpress Blog
The first step can apply to any blogging software or service (Wordpress, Blogger, Drupal. TypePad, Mambo, etc.) but the inserting of the HTML code may be in a different place for you. Either way, if you find your template which contains your <head> </head> tags you should be fine.
Step 1: Make your favicon.
It’s really not that hard. Go to Favicon from Pics and select an image file on your computer to upload, and a few seconds later you have a favicon. I chose a simple image with “JL” in it that I made, but you can choose more complex images such as photos. Favicon from Pics even lets you add scrolling text or animate the favicon.
Step 2: Upload your favicon.
With Wordpress, the best place is in the main /Wordpress folder on your hosting server. Just drop it in.
Step 3: Add the code.
Login to your Wordpress Admin area, go to Presentation, and choose the Theme Editor for your theme.
Choose the header.php file to edit…this is the template file which contains the <head> tags in it.
insert the following code anywhere between your <head> and </head> tags:
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico”>
That’s it!
