Change Favicon to Your Blog URL Address

What is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for "favorites icon" and also known as a page icon), is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage that is displayed in the browser address bar next to a site's URL.


If you ask to me, do blogger icon can be changed with your icon or might be with your photo's? the answer is yes you can do that.

How about the step to do that? this is the steps :
  1. You must have an image with low dimension, it’s about 22×22 pixel to 32×32 pixel. Actualy bigger is no problem but it will reduce speed to open your web/blog. And they can be formatted as gif, jpg, bmp, ico, png.
  2. Upload this image to the server that you use often, eg to google sites.
  3. Login to blogger,go to your layouts section. On the 'Page Elements' setup page
    make sure you have a label widget already installed where you want it (it can be moved around
    later). Then go to the Edit HTML settings and leave the widgets NOT exapanded. It will make
    things easier to deal with.

    Find
    </b:skin>
  4. Put the code below after </b:skin>
    <link href='Your URL image' rel='SHORTCUT ICON'/>
  5. As an example
    </b:skin>
    <link href='http://sites.google.com/site/friendsterlayoutsite/Home/ICON.gif?attredirects=0' rel='SHORTCUT ICON'/>

  6. Click "Save Template" button.
