  Hi,

  I can’t recall how I added the square icon/thumbnail image that appears in the tab at the top of the browser and in places where my blog is listed. Can someone point me to the right place to change it?

  Thanks.

  It’s your site’s avatar, ie Blavatar

  Spoke too soon. There is no such option on Settings > General.

  Your help page link does not reflect what is currently in the dashboard.

  Ah, just discovered the problem.

  There’s the “real” dashboard where you CAN find the blavatar uploader. Then there’s what I call the fake dashboard that wordpress keeps taking me to that also has a Settings > General but it’s way simplified and don’t have the blavatar uploader.

  I’m not sure what the point is of that slimmed-down dashboard. It’s confusing.

  And making users guess which Dashboard being referred to is confusing too, but TPTB haven’t caught up in updating the Support docs and I apologize that this wasn’t clear.

  Just to clarify, it’s your site’s Classic WP Admin Dashboard that is being referred to in that Support doc. There isn’t a comparable equivalent in the New Blue Dashboard yet (or at least I don’t *think* so).
