Hey, I’m new here. I really want to know how I can change my favicon on my wordpress blog. I am having so much trouble with it! Everyone says “edit your header.php file” but how do I get there?? I also hear something about “wp-content/theme” or something like that. I have absolutely no clue how to do anything. It’s really irritating me. Can someone show me how to do it in BABY steps please?!

Thank you all so much

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

From your Dashboard click on Settings. Under General Settings you’ll see Blog Picture / Icon. Then select the image you want and you’re good to go.

When you first change the favicon is usually not immediately visible change, because there are caches on the computer. Try to refresh your computer or cleaning the cache.

I also fix my favicon in http://iklan.klaten.info/

Please note that the reason you have a 404 (page not found) message on the front page of your blog is because you deleted the Hello World placeholder post. Not to worry as it will disappear as soon as you publish a Post. Posts and Pages are not the same and when you read the differences you can begin structuring your blog. I recommend that you use the step by step learn WordPress.com tutorial prepared by Staff for new WordPress.com members.

The instructions for uploading a favicon which here at WordPress.com is called a blavatar are found here. The instructions for uploading an avatar or gravatar are found in the support documentation. None of these will appear instantly. They all take time (days) to appear. If you are experiencing problems then go to the gravatar site and read the FAQs as it contains common questions and answers to them
