Quote:I don't know exactly where to put this

what is a favicon?
ans:
favicon is a small image that appears before
the url in the address bar


Instruction

• create a 16x16 (that's my preference) image you want and save as an ico and I use photshop and irfanview to change the file extension but
  you can use this favicon generator instead... very handy free online tool
  
• go to your ACP>Template Management and expand the default template and look for the headerinclude then expand it.
  
• insert the below code before the <meta>
  
  Code:

  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="URL of the favicon">

I think that's it and if you know already how to
add favicon iin your webpage document then this is
very very easy

I may be doing some more in the future, not sure what on exactly but I am sure I will find something that is worth contributing.

I've been having problems uploading my favicon to my site. I'm not sure if the generator I used is wrong or not so will try this one. Thanks for posting it.

favicon?? well its really new thing for me, i'll try the code then will hit u up for further discussion.....if i face any problem then........

What do you mean expand the default template, how do you do it?

I thought that the codes where in css, not html. So I'm confused even more! Where is this header include!?
