    How do I change the bookmark image (i.e. the image of your website in the task bar next to the URL or the image of your website when you bookmark it)??

    Thanks.

    Do you mean the favicon.ico? You can create one in Photoshop or use an online favicon generator http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ and upload said favicon.ico to your server and link to it in your header.php

    I am sorry but I am really new to this, after I make this favicon, can you give me step by step instructions as to where do I paste it or how do I link it to my header.php? I am using filezilla by the way.

    1. Upload the generated favicon.ico to the root of your domain so that:
    http://www.yoursiteurl.com/favicon.ico

    2. Open up header.php file of your current/active theme with a text editor, then add this link within <head> </head>:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yoursiteurl.com/favicon.ico" />
    then save header.php and upload to your active/current theme folder.

    Thanks but I found an easier way, via a plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/favicons/installation/
