  Hi! I’m trying to add a custom favicon to meideanfrancis.com, which is using Argent.

  I don’t see an option under Site Identity. Can I just stick the file in the root directory somehow?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Favicon is called Blavatar on WordPress.com.

  You can add Blavatar by following these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/blavatars/

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

  As chaitanyamsv mentioned, WordPress.com uses the Blavatar as the favicon. You can add one in the WP Admin menu under Settings > General:

  It looks like you’ve already added one, though it’s a bit smaller than recommended (and already a bit blurry) so may look pixillated in some contexts, such as the Reader. I recommend you re-upload a sharp image that’s at least 128px square for the best results.
