At the very beginning you need to have a .jpg image prepared. It will be changed later into a favicon. It is easy to make such images, if you use Photoshop, Paint or other similar software. There are many places on the web, where you can buy images, always remember, however, to read their licence agreement before using their image. It is forbidden to use any images representing established brands. Finally you can always hire someone to make such image for you.
Assuming you’ve got such an image – let’s get to the next steps.
1. First of all you have to make sure that the size of your image is no bigger than 150 kb, reduce it to a smaller size if it’s bigger.
2.The next step is to find free online software by searching the keyword Favicon Generator and when you are there simply upload your image.
3. Hit the button “Create Icon” and your favicon is ready to be downloaded to your computer.
4. Let’s get to the installation process:
- you can either install a wordpress FREE plugin created by MaxBlogPress
- or you can do it on your own, which I recommend. Why? It’s not the best solution to install too many plugins as they slow down your blog.. Too many wordpress plugins can cause conflits as well. So, what you need to do, is to upload your fav icon to the “public_html” folder on your server.
5. Now you have to put a special code in the head section of your website. Save it after you put it in the header.php file on your blog. The code is given on the Favicon Generator website.
6. If you’ve done all the above steps properly, your favicon should appear in the address bar. In some cases it may however take a bit longer. It’s worth, however, waiting.
