It's called a favicon , actually the image is named technically called a favicon.ico and you upload it top the root of the site in ftp. Well that's what i did. There are many sites that let you make one for free, here is one https://www.favicon-generator.org/

Are you talking about the favicon? If your blog is WP go to your theme and set an image for site ID. Dimensions usually should be 512x512. Site ID is what usually gets pulled in as favicon.

Yep that's the favicon. In wordpress set your site id like i said. On sites other than word press follow TheButcher instructions .LatonyaJed wrote: ↑March 28th, 2018, 5:16 pmthat small image in the browser nav bar, an example is as this site has.

Once you create the small favicon, upload it to the root of the site and it's bingo pretty much.
