    I build a site with frontpage and I always like to upgrade it.
    I want to put a favorite icon. I know what it is but have no idea how to do it.

    thanks,

    You can put this line under the <head> tag with you favicon path
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<PATH>/favicon.ico" />

    Don't do that, all you need to do is put the favicon.ico in the root folder of your website and it will work for all pages.

    Just put the favicon.ico file in the same folder as your index.html, the browsers will take care of the rest. No need to add any code to your website.

    yes <PATH> means favicon path where you uploaded on server normally path is theme folder if you are using open sources like wordpress, joomla, drupal, otherwise you can put the favicon in root directory
