Introduction.

It took about 1 hour to create this article.

Expectations.

It is expected that you have already used your WHW1 (Web Hosting With $1) hosting control panel, cpanel, to instantly install a Concrete5 website, and you know how to access the Concrete5 control panel sign-in page.  It is also assumed that you already have the needed images for a favicon and/or iphone thumbnail. 

 

Steps To Add Favicon To Website.

1. Login To Your Concrete5 5.x control panel.
   
   
   
2. Go to your Concrete5 Dashboard.
   
   
   
3. Scroll Down and Select "System & Settings".
   
   
   
4. Select Bookmark Icons.
   
   
   
   
5. Click Browse under the Favicon section, and locate your favicon image on your computer to upload.

7. Click on Upload.  In a few seconds you should see page refreshed and favicon image showing.
