If you noticed a logo or small icon in the address bar right before the URL address, that is Favicon.

Here’s how to create favicon :

Make a logo with the size 16×16 or 32×32 pixel and save it as jpg/gif/png/ico format. You can use Photoshop or Fireworks to create one.
Go to favikon.com and convert the logo into favicon.
Download the favicon you just converted and upload into your domain root directory using name favicon.ico.
Go to the Theme Editor of your Wordpress, and insert the next script between tag <head> and </head> in header.php:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”url_favicon.ico” type=”image/[format_icon]” />

Your favicon should be appear if you installed it correctly.
