Earlier I told a way to add favicon using Editor. Now there is a WordPress pluin to add favicon easily.

Procedure:

1. Create a image file using your favorite program like MS paint.
2. Upload it to www.html-kit.com/favicon
and download favicon file.
3. You will get favicon.ICO file. Upload it to photo sharing site like PhotoBucket and image URL.
4. Go to Add a New Plugin Page and search for All in One Favicon and install that plugin. Go to the Settings > All in One Favicon.
5. Paste the favicon image URL to the Frontend ICO. And save settings.

Now your WordPress website will have new favicon.

Favicon is really important as it adds identity to your url. Your site can be easily identified from the list of favourites, because of its favicon.

Also it helps to identify your sites easily if multiple tabs are opened in any web-browser.

Here are the steps to add favicon to your wordpress blog -

• You will first need a favicon, which can be created from any image here  – www.html-kit.com/favicon
• When you have created your favicon, upload it to your server or any other image uploading service.
• Once you have uploaded it, get its url.
• Goto your WordPress Dasboard > Appearance > Editor > Header.
• Search for following code if any -
  

  <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico”>

• If its not there, add it replacing “favicon.ico” with the url of your favicon image.
• Now update it….thats it you have successfully added favicon to your site.

Feel free to leave a comment if you are having difficulty in implementing these steps.

UPDATE: Now add favicon using a WordPress Plugin
