- The favorite icon, the one that is usually .ico and appears in the browser, how do I put that on my site. I searched around and found an old post about it being in the global options but I don't see that there anymore so it must have been from an old joomla version.

Okay, here is my third installment. LMAO
www.favicon.cc/ <
my favorite place to make a favicon.
After you make it upload it to your site - www.yoursite.com/images - of course you can put it anywhere you like.
Then go to admin of your site, template manager and open you template up. Then open "edit HTML"
In the header meta description add the following line -<link href="/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
I am sure their are different ways to write it...but simple and sweet example above. As for where to place....again, here is a sample of where to place. Taken from no other than the fine website RT -
