In this post we will show you how to insert favicon for your wordpress blog. So if you are at this page, you already coming from Google, Msn or Yahoo, and know what a favicon is ! so no need to explain it. Will directly move to the instructions and tutorial;
- First in order to have a Favicon, you need to have an image, normally its a logo or Initials of your web or any image that you want to showcase.
- Go to this web page as they make free favicons : Chami
- Upload the image by clicking ‘Browse’ button and click ‘Generate Favicon’
- Check your new Favicon and download it via the link provided by Chami
- Unzip the contents you have just downloaded and upload the favicon to your webhost (”public_html” in most cases).
- Now log in to your wordpress account, and locate Header.php , mostly under Appearance/Editing.
- Insert the code anywhere in the header.php coding mode; to be safe insert it somwhere in the middle and update. You are finished.
<Link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”favicon.ico”/>
Important Note: You have to Insert the URL address in “favicon.ico”, in the above code. For example, for our website technama the code looked like this;
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.technama.com/wp-content/favicon.ico” />
Hope this helps, if you have any problems or queries Technama is here to assist you.

This information was very helpful! I had to play around with it a few times but finally got it. I tried to get the instructions from a few other sites but TechNama was the only one that explained how the code should actually look once modified, which was a big help for a Wordpress rookie like me. Thanks again.
