Evening all
How do I change the little logo that appears next to the site title for a website?
On TST it is the blue ?; on Google it is the block of red/green with a ? and on WIGH for example it is the gold WE on a black blackground.
What is it called and how do I change it???
Thanks in advance!

Not absolutely sure but I think it's a favicon.ico in the website server root directory.
Just a stab, Albert.

Thanks Gunner - from a response on another forum your are right! All I have to do now is find out how to change it!

There are sites that explain how to add icon to "your" website.
There are sites that explain how to add/change icon in "your" favorites bookmarks.
I don't think you can change TST icon. But I'm wrong a lot.

I have found that there is a favicon icon in the root directory of the hosting site; if absent it defaults to a white oaoer with the corner folded over. Clearly you have to have access to the site files to mess with this!

That's my take on it also.

I accessed the remote folder and renamed the favicon icon which had the desired effect of setting it back to the default. Time to get a suitable replacement and hurl it into the aether for all to see!
