Can anyone provide an HTML code to change a favicon(I already have my .ico) and in depth instructions on how to use it?

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
Na, just kidding. :)

Are you just trying to link to the favicon? If so, just type in what morofirst said into the <head></head> tag on the root page of your website and you're solid.

@leothelion99 That is as "detailed" as it gets with favicons. It isn't complicated.
Hm, I think this should be locked now that the issue has been resolved.

But what does link rel mean and what does it do?

It links to the favicon, and the favicon appears in your browsers head-bar.
Na, just kidding. :)

@leothelion You don't really need to know but okay.
Link rel means the link is relative, as in the browser doesn't need to know the exact location of the favicon to find it, just the name of the file.

I have a 16x16 favicon file called favicon.ico. Would I put <link rel="favicon.ico">?

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">

@leothelion99 May you lock this thread now? o3o
