You will want to place the favicon code in your overall_header.html code and upload the image to your site.
The code is
Replace favicon.ico with the location of the image you upload.

Code:
<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">Replace favicon.ico with the location of the image you upload.
Yep, it can really kill what you are trying to put out there. But if you have a high quality image it will work better.
But the real problem is, if you have a large image that is 200k, even though it is only showing as 16x16, it still loads that entire 200k.

Which hurts both end user loading speed and bandwidth, you want as small of image files as possible in terms of bytes. Also, that code isn't xHTML strict, use lowercase or W3C will yell at you.Whaturmuva said:
Put it in your root folder, but you could essentially put it anywhere you want (even using photobucket, for instance).
Also, I recommend creating favicons at 32x32, it's a lot easier to work with and scales perfectly. You can also try using http://www.favicon.cc/
