 * I uploaded this theme, and my favicon is not present, nor is there an option 
   to upload one in the dashboard. How can I go about uploading my favicon please?

 * Upload your favicon.ico to your root directory(www.yourwebsite.com/favicon.ico)
   by FTP or by logging into your host and uploading it. That is the proper way 
   of doing it and not through theme options like some themes do. It might take 
   a little while before it starts showing up in your browser, try clearing your
   browser cache.
 * Once it is in your root directory you should be able to see it by going to yourwebsite.
   com/favicon.ico like this: [http://fatboythemes.com/favicon.ico](http://fatboythemes.com/favicon.ico)
 * Edit: If you would still rather do it through the dashboard you could use a plugin:

 * Do you mean all browsers look for the favicon at that root location by default?
