the name to favicon.ico

  • Now you have a favicon.ico

If you have the Photoshop Plugin

And the BIG finish

  • You need to log into your ftp and get to the root directory.

**If you do not use an FTP client** go to http://fireftp.mozdev.org/ and download Fireftp.

  • The root directory depends on the host, it will most likely be the "public_html" folder or a folder with the same name as your domain or simply put just the www area.
