    upload the icon to the root folder and add this code before the </head> tag in the header.php file
    This is for self hosted wordpress blogs. If you are looking to add favicon for wordpress.com blog, see this link, i found it while searching, www[.]isimplyblog[.]com/favicon-for-wordpresscom-blog-blavatar/253/

    Your cpanel root is inside "public_html" folder.

    If you are login to your cpanel using any FTP client then first login and then first go to public_html and upload your favicon.ico file there. After that go to wp-content -> themes -> select your current theme folder -> download header.php

    Add below given code just before </head> tag and Save it.

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
    Code (markup):
    Upload your header.php thats all.

    BTW it'll take little time to display your favicon so be patient.

    DON.

    I agree completely with DON..To add further, instead of downloading and uploading header.php, you can also try to edit the said file, right clicking on it and get the same result!

    It seems DS has tried his hand on cpanel for the first time...is it?

    You can do that using any Excerpts Plugin easily.

    For e.g. check this - dailyblogtips.com/homepage-excerpts-wordpress-plugin/

    To change your hosting, sign up with HostGator and use the nameservers that they send via email.

    It should something like -
    ns121.hostgator.com
    ns122.hostgator.com
