Change the Blogger Favicon and Add your own Favicon to Blogspot

Recently it is possible to change and so customize the standard Blogger favicon and add your own favicon to your Blogspot blog. A favicon is that tiny little image (16x16) just in front of the url in your web browser. Previously this was always the orange letter B of Blogger or Blogspot. Nice but there is nothing personal about it. So now you can make your blog even more personal by changing this image and use one of your own images.

Keep in mind that the images you use must be a square. The site then converts your image automatically to the appropriate .ico format.

Now I show you how its done:

• Log into the Admin section of your Blogger site and click design.

• On top of the next screen you will see the text to edit the favicon.

• Press browse and find the picture you want to use on your Blog, hit save and your done.

Note:  it can take some time for the image to appear, you can speed this up by deleting your cookies.

Or use a online generator to create one

As if it's not enough you can easily create one with a online favicon generator. One of such free online icon generator is the one on Dynamic Drive. Look for the desired image on your hard disk, select it, click on create icon, and the generator makes a great icon of your selected image.

You can also use graphics programs like Photoshop to create an icon for your site, or you can download ready-made icons.
