    You can use http://www.favicongenerator.com/

    Than upload the favicon.ico to the root.

    If it doesn't work, add the following code inside the section.

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico">

    When creating my favicon I outsourced through the website http://www.favicon-generator.org/. You then upload the picture you want and select the create favicon option. Once finished you download the finished product.

    Use favicon.ico to place into your code. Make sure you save in a folder when your main html file is.

    Placed inside the head section
    link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"
    link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="animated_favicon1.gif"

    Create a 16x16 image. If you want transparency, use the PNG or GIF format.Convert your image to .ico format using a free service such as favicon.cc.Upload the new icon to http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico . For finer control, use the code above to specify favicons on a page-by-page basis.
