I followed the link provided for creating a favicon…but it didn’t work. I’m using twenty twelve and didn’t find the code to replace so I copied the code after <head>. Nothing changed.
Ah, I figured out what’s going on. My slider is a widget that’s showing up after the content area for the page. This is why such a big gap is there. So now I need to either get a new slider that can go into the content area itself or make the content area not show.
