Adding a favicon to Blogger blogs is very easy just follow my easy steps and you will be done in just a minute, for those who don't know what Favicon is 'Favicon also called as Favourite Icon, Pageicon and urliconis is a small icon(image) displayed at the beginning of the address bar of the browser.
The main advantage of creating and using favicon is it makes it easy to find your blog or site when someone favourited or bookmarked your site/blog among several other sites.
Most people use 16*16 pixel favicon but you can also use a 32x32 pixel size favicon with ".ico" format. But, you can also use gif, png(image formats) as well.
1. Create a Favicon.
To create a Favicon all you need is a program to create a favicon in (.ico) format. You can also use png or gif format if you don't have a program to create in .ico format. But if you don't have a program to create a favicon there's a lot of online favicon generator that can make favicon for you. Visit these sites http://www.genfavicon.com/ or http://www.graphicsguru.com/favicon.php or you can just search at Google using the keywords free online 16*16 icon generator , free online generator or free favicon generator.
2. Upload your favicon
When you are done creating your favicon, upload your favicon to any image hosting sites and get it's direct link URL.
3. Copy the code below
| <link href='FAVICON URL' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/"image format"/ > |
replace FAVICON URL with your favicon url
replace image format with image format of your favicon
ex. if you use GIF for your favicon replace "image/image format" with image/GIF
4. Paste it After the <HEAD> code
5. Save your template and your done.
