Also, be careful so your href location isn't faulty. Study case:

My index page was in a temporary sub-folder named LAYOUTS. To reach the favicon.png from inside the IMAGES folder, which was a sibling of the LAYOUTS folder, I had to put a path in my href like this

href="../images/favicon-32x32.png"

Double periods are necessary for folder navigation "upwards", then the forward slash + images string gets you into the images folder (performing a tree branch "jump") and finally you get to reference your file by writing favicon-32x32.png.

This explanation is useful for those that start out from scratch and it would have been useful to have seen it a couple of times since I would forget that I had certain *.php files outside the LAYOUTS folder which needed different tree hrefs on my links, from the HEAD section of each page.

Reference the path to your favicon image accordingly.
