Do websites need to look exactly the same in ever browser?
The control which designers know in the print medium, and often desire in the web medium, is simply a function of the limitation of the printed page.

As you can see, even images are responsive and fluid. We hope browsing our web site will be more pleasant and simple.
The favicon is a tiny (16x16 px) but precious icon that identifies your web site among the others. To create you can use free we resources as

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/favicon.ico" />
Save and you’ll see your new, tiny-shiny favicon.
