  Hi,

  I’d like to change the favicon of my wordpress blog, but I can’t find out how to do it.

  I tried putting a picture in General Settings > Blog picture / Icon but nothing changes. I only see it in the top bar when I’m logged into my admin account, but when I go to the blog from another computer, it doesn’t appear in the tab as a favicon.

  I tried clearing the cache but nothing changes.

  I guess there is an obvious way to do it but after a few hours trying to figure it out, I can’t find it.

  Thank you in advance for your help.

  Regards.

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

  Gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.
  Do not keep uploading!
  Do not forget to select an image rating.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/
  For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

  To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.
