Give your blog a distinctive touch with a favicon in under 30 minutes by following these four easy steps.
Step 1: Create or choose your image
You can either create a 16 x 16 pixel file yourself in photoshop or paint.NET, or use a free icon from somewhere on the web.
I found the ones I’ve used on my blogs at Very Icon.
Step 2: Convert your image
Use one of the below online favicon generators, and save your favicon to your computer.
Step 3: Upload your favicon
Using either your website’s cPanel interface or FTP software like CoreFTP, upload favicon.ico to the main folder of the WordPress theme you’re currently using.
Step 4: Insert the code
Open your theme’s header.php file & insert the following line of code somewhere between the <head> and </head> tags.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
View your blog & refresh the page.
All done!

I have been wanting to do this for a while now. Have bookmarked the post and will do this when I revamp my blog. Thanks for the info.
