So I was wondering if there was a way to have a font awesome icon beside your title like this I want to use the fa fa-pencilicon. This is my code in my head:

<head>
  <title><link type="fa fa-pencil" href="fa fa-pencil">Blogger</title>
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>

All what shows up in my title is:

<link type="fa fa-pencil" href="fa fa-pencil">Blogger

In my gem file, I have added gem "font-awesome-rails" and ran bundle install. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a way to add the pencil icon to the title? Thanks in advance!

https://paulferrett.com/fontawesome-favicon/ use this and you will get `favicon-pencil.ico` file. And use that as favicon `` – Subash Dec 29 '17 at 17:26
@Subash I have this: `` and it still show `` in my title. Is there something I should change? – iiRosie1 Dec 29 '17 at 17:35
Check your icon path in `href`. And Check whether you have included the `favicon.ico` file. – Subash Dec 29 '17 at 17:39
