I just added this code a few days ago... make sure you search the scripts

CODE
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="IMAGEURLHERE">

That's a favicon. Mike is right. The code below is the one I'm using right now & it works. Just replace XXX with the url of your image or desired icon for your site.

CODE
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="XXX" />

Yeah, I just shared my opinion. And I don't know if the code works without type="image/ico" that's why I shared mine but anyways I'm sorry if you found it annoying. I just didn't know.
