  How do I add an icon by my blog name (canapesandchocolate.com) as part of my URL, as I see many sites do. Here is an example:

  http://www.simplyrecipes.com

  Thank you.

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

  Hi,
  I did what you said and I now see my icon (the one above that it is pink background in brown soufflé dish) – it appears next to my blog name on the internal headline title above the dashboard. I would like it to appear in the URL line when someone types in http://www.canapesandchocolate.com – instead there is the WordPress W icon to the left of my URL.

  How do I get my blavatar to sit to the left of my URL?

  Thanks!

  Claire

  Thank you Raincoaster and Time Thief – actually I created the blavator and also read the info on site-logo and did what everyone said to do and nothing changed as far as the icon being situated by the URL. Until today, and then miraculously it appeared (I think I must be too impatient for things to change/happen :)

  So all is good and thanks to you both for your help.

  I always appreciate how quickly someone answers my questions from the Support Teams – Thanks and Happy New Year to you both!
