To add a favicon to your site in WordPress, place your favicon.ico file inside your theme folder (for example: wp-content/themes/default/) then add this line to header.php:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />

Be sure to add it somewhere within the <head></head> section.

Thanks Anit.
What are the general dimensions for favicon.ico ?

by **jay** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:48 am

16 * 16 (width * height)

Why wait, create one now -

One universal rule about favicon.ico files is that they always have to have dimensions of 16 x 16 pixels (or 32 x 32 pixels, but 16 x 16 pixels is the standard). The color depth should be 8-bit or 24-bit, and they should be static images; Firefox can display animated .gif files as favicons, but no other major browser can.

I really like favicons, i think they give the site a bit more personality, and highlights them better within a user's bookmarks
We should look at adding this to our web dev process

Google has changed their favicon three times in the past one year. Earlier it was a "capital G" and changed to "small blue g" and now its "color g".

Setting up favicon may take some time as its related with server, but its worth!
