These are the important things that you need to have in your mind before you get your own favicon with Shockingly simple Favicon WordPress plugin:

• The .ico file should be 16×16 in size;
• The .ico file should be a 100% valid icon;
• There can’t be other sizes in the .ico file (icons can have   many sizes images in one file);
• It can’t be animated (most important!).

Animate favicons are not recommended even without this plugin because it’s a great distraction for your blog readers!
