Ever wonder how to change the little browser icon of your webpage?

This guide will explain it in just a few steps (for both a traditional webpage and for a WordPress theme)
- Go find the image that you would like to use for your logo
- Scale the image down so that it is exactly 24x24 pixels
- Save the image as an Icon file: On windows, this is just a BMP file, on MAC you can save as Windows Icon File
- The filename must be: favicon.ico
For Wordpress:
Save the file in your wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME-NAME/images (overwrite the existing one)
For a Traditional HTML Page
Save the file in your website root directory
