To get favicon icon link or image you need to register to the website "IMAGESHACK.US" for free. Upload the image you want to use as a favicon icon and after uploading picture it will provide you links in 4-5 different formats.. You need to copy direct link from there that will look like < a href="image url" rel="shortcut icon" > and then copy this link to location i have mentioned in the article...
