Two Items
1. Does anyone know how to add a favicon for Web Browsers? Or do we do this with a Header Tag? Where to do it?
1. Does anyone know how to change the IE Tab Information and Favorite Text (Where is the data coming from)?
I changed my site name and now I can not find the text to change it again. Thank you.

Favicon:
Just create it and drop it in the www folder. Eventually it will show up on your browser. Search the web for a free tool to make one.

The best I've found: http://www.favicon.cc/?Just import an image, edit it (if needed, it shows up in real size below the edit box) and download. As Bob said, just place the file (name it) 'favicon.ico' into the root of your site. |

David, What Bob suggests will generally work, but the "correct" way is to add <link> tag to the header of your site as outlined here: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-faviconRegarding your tab/favorite text, which is actually coming from your page title, you edit this by going to the "Options" tab in the admin and then click "General" from the left-column menu. Then just edit the "Store Name" field. |

We are getting closer. I found this code in BaseStoreCode.VB
On the home page I am getting a field from Me.Page.Title = Me.PageTitle " - " + WebAppSettings.SiteName
See code below.
Private Sub Page_LoadComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LoadComplete
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Me.Page.Title = Me.PageTitle + " - " + WebAppSettings.SiteName
End If
End Sub
Yes the WebAppSettings.SiteName is coming from Options --> General --> Store Name
Where is the data Me.Page.Title = Me.PageTitle coming from. That has our old company name? Do not know where data is coming from? Maybe SQL?
Thank you for all of the posts prior to this one.

I found the issue. Home.Master <title>Welcome</title>
Me.Page.Title = Me.PageTitle + " - " + WebAppSettings.SiteName
The home page of the site data is coming from Home.Master <title>Welcome</title>

I like the idea of inserting the <link> tag to the header of the site as outlined here: www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-faviconWhere do I place this link in BVC5 structure? Is there one default place I can do this where it will replicate accross everything?

The home page of the site data is coming from Home.Master <title>Welcome</title> Me.PageTitle will be empty unless you have a <title> tag on your Default.aspx page or its master page. |
