First, save a square jpeg of the client's logo or whatever you want the favicon to be.
The oversize is unimportant, just that it is square-ish.

Once done, go to this link

http://www.htmlkit.com/services/favicon/

Click browse, and choose the file you want to convert (the jpeg you just made).

Click "Generate Favicon.ico"

The page will change, and not a whole lot will make sense.

Near the bottom there is a section called "What else you can do:"

Right click on the link title "Download only favicon.ico"

Choose Save Target As, and put it in the clients folder.

Next, go to the clients site(s) you want to add it to.

Edit the html layout(s) and add this code right after the stylesheet link:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico">

Save the layout.

Upload the favicon to the images folder.

You will not be able to upload the file directly because the cms does not support the extention .ico.

Instead, zip the file up and then upload it.  It will automatically unzip it and you will be golden.

For an example, see  http://www.attorneyshelpingpeople.com/.


If you are adding a favicon to multiple sites (like an Elite), it is not necessary to upload the favicon multiple times.  Just change the code on the other sites to this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mainsitewithicon.com/images/favicon.ico">


Obviously you will replace the url with the correct domain.
