    Hello, once you've made your favicon just put it in your root directory or if your using wordpress put it in root directory and in your theme directory ;). The browsers will find it automatically.

    if you want to insert it into a normal site say html, insert the following code within the <head></head> tags:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
    Code (markup):
    If you want to add an animated favicon:
    <link rel="icon" href="animated-favicon.gif" type="image/gif">
    Code (markup):

    And if you are using wordpress blog, you can use the plugin "MBP Favicon".

    It will set the favicon selected by you easily without need of doing much work.
