How Do I Change the Favicon in Drupal?
A website's favicon is an icon that loads in the browser address bar when a website is visited. The favicon also appears in the bookmarks menu if someone bookmarks the site. Having a distinctive favicon on your website is important, because the favicon is a logo for your website, helping visitors to identify your site. In a website run with Drupal, the process for changing the favicon is a bit different that usual, due to Drupal's use of themes in styling a website.
