Aesthetic changes: get rid of green icon on tab, and add descriptions to IE bar
 
Can someone tell me how to get rid of or change the green sunburst icon that appears on the IE tab of my website?

Also, how do I add/edit the description in the blue bar at the top of IE? Right now, for example, my About page just says "About." I'd like it to have a description or at the very least the entire link to the page, with the domain name.

I see no green star burst annywhere. are you talking about the favicon?

Yes, I guess I mean the Favicon. I removed it from the customization page (so it's blank now), but I still see it on the tab of IE.

Also, the IE blue at the top doesn't show the entire path or description of the page (for example, the About page simply reads "About", instead of about with my website or a description.)

Thanks in advance!

Ahh the page title - are you using an SEO plugin? if so check it's settings for displaying the page title.
if noot, do you have ATO->Configure SEO->Use Bytes For All SEO options? set to YES, check your setting at ATO->Configure SEO->Meta Title Tag format

For Favicon

To remove favicon: Go to: ATO > Favicon.

There are some excellent instructions located there.

Additionally, to answer your question here, from Favicon, delete ' new-favicon.ico ', as noted in instructions. This will remove the green star burst. And, after a cache clear and browser restart, the icon will be gone from browser. However, you are now left with no user specified favicon, defaulting to the generic page icon.

To make new favicon: Google favicon, look for dynamic drive link and follow their instructions for making new favicon, if you want a new one. The short version, make a new icon in your favorite graphics program, light on detail is key. Upload file to dynamic drive favicon generator. Then, use ftp to upload resulting favicon to /atahualpa3/images/favicon/. A lot of this is also in ATO > Favicon instructions.

Enjoy your shiny new favicon.

Thanks!

I actually had no blog title listed--hence, no info in the page bar.

I'll go back and look at the favion stuff again.
