Add a Favicon to your Blog?

Have you noticed the pink flower on my blog url lately? On the left side of the url, on the menu bar, you can see a little pink flower that I have added. This is called FAVICON. It is actually a shortcut for Favorite Icon and it serves as a symbol for the site, sort of. You can choose which type of FaveIcon you would like to put, text or image.

If you would like to add one, you can follow these steps.

1. First you need to have the image on your computer.
2. Upload the file to a freeserver, like photobucket if you have one.
3. Login in to your account (blog account) then go to Dashboard, click Layout and then click Edit HTML.
4. Before doing the rest of the steps, make sure that you have a backup of your templates.
5. Copy the following code to your html codes just below the

(title)...(/title) * I change <> to ( ) so I can published it here.

(link rel="shortcut icon" href="URL OF YOUR ICON AT GOOGLEPAGES" /)

* Make sure to change the ( ) into <>. Copy the whole text in red and blue. The blue part is the one that you need to change. You can copy the url of the image that you have uploaded, let's say from photobucket.

6. Before you save your html, hit Preview to see your new icon.
7. Click on Save Template and see the new icon beside your url.
