How to Make a Favicon and Insert it Into Blogger

First--what is a FAVICON? Look up at the top of this blog where the address bar is...See the fleur de lis? That is a favicon. It is a teeny tiny picture to put into your blog address to personalize it.

If you would like to create a favicon for your blog,

first go HERE. At this website, you will upload a

picture from your computer and it will automatically

create a small favicon for you. When you get the

picture, save it to your desktop.

Then, go to your blog. For purposes of this

demonstation, I am showing you my Whimsical Musings

blog.

As you look at your own blog, go to the top of the page

where it says "Design" and click it.

Here you will come to your Template. At the top

left, you will see it says "favicon."

At this point, click "Edit."

Now you will be asked to choose a file from your desktop.

You will choose the image you just made at the other

website. So, choose the file and click "save."

Now, exit your blog completely and once you are

at your browser, come back and visit your

blog again. Your favicon should appear up in

the search bar.

Note: Sometimes they are tricky and you may have

to insert them more than once--I know because I had

that happen, although I have no idea why! But, if it does

give you a problem, just try to upload it again.

I hope that this has been helpful. I am the author

of 3 Amazon e-books.

These are not technical in nature, but rather

are inspiration for creating your blogs.

Thanks so much for visiting! If this was helpful,

please let me know. I'd always appreciate it if

you could post this to Facebook--the button

is right underneath this post and says "F."
