Yesterday, my friend who just started blogging contacted me to help him add a favicon to his blog WEOOL Technology. I guided him through the steps but realized if this is proving to be difficult for a new blogger then i should write a post for accomplishing this more easily. So without wasting anytime let’s get to it.
What Is A Favicon ?
Favicon is that small size image which you see in browsers next to the title of the webpage. Like the ‘T’ sign on this page above – Take A Look.
A favicon could be your Companies Logo or anything which describes your site. This gives your website a more professional look and makes it unique among others. So, in this tutorial i’m going to show how you can add a favicon to your website very easily.
Benefits Of A Favicon :
There are many benefits which you can gain by simply adding a favicon.
- A more professional look.
- Easy Identification.
- Increased User Experience.
First Method :-
- Upload the file to the root directory of your website using FTP or file manager, if your web-host supports it.
- Now edit your HEADER.PHP file and add the following code :
<link rel=”icon” href=”http://technonerdz.org/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />
- In the above code just change technonerdz.org with your website’s url and paste it in your HEADER.PHP.
If this method seems too much technical for you, keep reading :-
- Login to your wordpress admin area.
- Goto the plugins tab and search for a plugin named All In One Favicon.
- Install the plugin and let it do the dirty work.
This is the easiest you can get for adding a favicon to your wordpress blog. Tell us how you end up doing it or leave a comment if you don’t understand any step.
