You can add a favicon by adding a file named favicon.ico in the root directory of your website, or by adding the correct tags in the head section of an html page. Read here for details.

And example using the code in head: (This is the preferred method according to w3.)

 <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.ahunt.org/favicon.png" />

-> the href attribute points to the location of the favicon, which should be 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64 image, of format ico, png, jpeg, gif.

If you have a file named favicon.ico already in your root directory, I believe you do not have to add any additional lines of code to your pages.

This is correct, placing the favicon.ico file inside your root directory will automatically show up on all pages, posting the correct code in the head of a html page would mainly be used if you were using different favicons for different pages i guess.

It works, but is discouraged:

Method 2 (Discouraged): Putting the favicon at a predefined URI
[...]
This method works because some browsers have been programmed to look for favicons using that URI. This approach is inconsistent with some principles of Web architecture and is being discussed by W3C's Technical Architecture Group (TAG) as their issue siteData-36.
