It isn't that you don't have access to something that exists like a CPANEL app for a webhosting account, rather than you only have the domain name itself and its being setup to display the content from your Vendio store engine.
Im not sure if the engine used to create and manage the stores has a provision for inserting a favicon, but were checking on this and will post back as soon as more information is available.
Ok, you can use a favicon for your website, and for this, you should edit __head.html and add something like this:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{favicon_link}" type="image/x-icon">
You can put it as the first line of this file.
Instead of the {favicon_link} you can either use an image external URL (if that image has an external URL; e.g.
http://www.widgipedia.com/favicon.ico) or you can use an image of the template.
To upload an image to the template, you can select:
My Content >> Add new content - then upload the new image (for example a file named
myfavicon.ico) and use mycontent/myfavicon.ico instead of {favicon_link}.
Note that you should use the name of the uploaded file there and not the name you gave to the new custom content.
So, the html code you need to add to the __head.html file is:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="mycontent/myfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

I attempted to upload 'myfavicon.ico' per your instructions and the image upload would not allow files with the extention of *.ico.
Doh. Well, that would have worked if we allowed *.ico files in the image upload tool for the My Content section.
It would still work as an externally hosted file of course, but we'll have to check on the possibility of changing the allowable file types for that section and get back to you (to see about uploading that ico file to Vendio.)
