Hey Folks,
I am assuming this can be easily resolved, but I am having trouble changing my Favicon from the standard to a new one that I have.
Where can this icon be swapped at? I appreciate any and all help you can give.
-Thank You!

You need to upload your favicon file to the same folder as WordPress. Then edit header.php and add the following lines after the
<head>and before the</head>tags:<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/favicon.ico" /> <!--[if IE]> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/favicon.ico" /> <![endif]-->This should ensure that your new favicon appears almost instantly - but do remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing the updated site

here is the code I put into the header.php file:
<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
<![endif]-->Here is where the favicon is located: http://www.utahoutside.com/favicon.ico
What did I do wrong? HELP!
