    Add the following code just above the closing </head> tag in the header.

    <link rel="icon" type="/ico"
    href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico" />
    Code (markup):

    You can also just dump the favico.ico file into the root of your website and it will show up

    I'm sure it was just a typo but you will need to use the filename favicon.ico for it to work from root directory of your site.

    Yea it's better to code it manually, I used a plugin to do this simple thing and it increased server load significantly

    Less plugins is ALWAYS advisable for your time / security / updates and your visitors sake.
