    Ocean Mist 2.0 is the theme at Blue Planet Almanac, now self-hosted. There’s no icon which loads next to the URL displayed in the browser.

    But, while hosted at WordPress.com, bloggers uploaded a Gravatar which WordPress.com coded to accompany their posts. That icon ALSO displayed next to the URL in the browser’s address bar when viewing the site.

    Anyone know a quick and simple means to load a Gravatar next to the URL? It’s my (unconfirmed) understanding that such an icon is separate in function from favicons. Thanks!

    I’m not sure I get what you mean. Is it the icon that appears on the left side of the URL address bar on your browser when you open a website? (some sites do have, others don’t)..

    If so, that’s called “favicon”…

    You need to create an icon (got to be *.ico), name it as “favicon”, upload it to your site/blog root and add a tag like the one below between <head> and </head> on your header.php file.

    <LINK REL=”SHORTCUT ICON” HREF=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/favicon.ico”>
