Storefront

  1. Upload a "favicon.ico" file to your files via the storefront to customize the icon that displays in the browser's URL area.  Here is some useful information about favicons and where they appear: http://webdesign.about.com/od/favicon/f/blfaqfavicon1.htm. Here are the Boomer instructions regarding uploading your own favicon: Adding A Favicon.

    Browsers typically cache favicons so if you don't see your favicon right away, do not despair.  It might take a few browser session instances for your new favicon to appear.
