One thing I continually notice as I surf the web is that people tend to cut corners when it comes to getting their sites up.  They continually forget to drop in small, polishing elements that make a dull website sparkle.  Favicons seem to be the most ignored of the bunch, as I see sites quite often that have kept their hosting account’s favicon or (even worse) don’t have one at all.

All In One Favicon is my go-to plugin of choice for giving my site’s a favicon.  Not only can you specify a different icon for your front end and back end (if you have lots of users, this becomes handy!) but you can also set the Apple Touch icons.  All of the directions are included, and everything runs on the image uploader, so you don’t have to worry about specifying paths, etc.
