“Blog Icons” is a great plugin created by Joost de Valk. This is a very simple plugin to use.  It lets you easily add a favicon to your blog URL.

Once you have installed the plugin go under Setting => Blog Icons and upload your favicon throught the plugin options area.

Blog Icons also  gives you the opportunity to add your own logo to your WordPress blog RSS feed.

Other than this plugin, there is another simple way of adding the plugin to your blog. You will have to add a line in your header.php file of your theme.

Just open header.php file with a simple notepad or notepad++ and add the following line:

<link rel=”shorcut icon” type=”image/x-ico” href=”<?php bloginfo(’template_url’); ?>/favicon.ico” />

As it is shown in this picture:

After saving the header.php and upload the file to your theme directory. Now convert any picture file into favicon.ico file and upload into your theme directory. There are different sites which can convert any image file into favicon. You can search the google for this purpose or you can use the favicon.cc site.

After uploading the favicon.ico, just refresh your browser and also clear the cache of your browser.
