Answer 1

You can read all about favicons at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

You need to upload it to your websites root folder.



There is also an online tool for making your own favicon here: http://www.rw-designer.com/online_icon_maker.php

Answer 2

As the others said, it is a favicon.ico that you need to make and add. In some CMS, you can specify the favicon file name and location from within the site administration area. If there isn't anything like that, view the page source and look for something like this: That tells you where to place your edited favicon.ico file.
