Adding a Favicon to your blogger / blogspot blog
1. Create a favicon - easiest way ever to do this is to go to http://www.iconj.com/icon_generator.php
You can upload any image and they will not only turn it into a .ico file (the kind of file required for a favicon to work)
Once it has converted your image you have the choice of downloading it so that you can host it on your own server, or they will host it for you.
If you are using blogspot like me, this free hosting option is just what u need as, sadly blogspot cant host.ico files as yet.
2. edit your html to include your favicon - for blogspot people all you need to do is copy the code generated when your favicon is created, login to your blogger account & add it to the <head> portion of your template.
3. If you don't know how to edit your template -> login to b;logger -> go to the layout tab -> then click on edit html
4. Find the line that has <head> written in it - it's in the first 10 or so lines -> then just paste the snippet of code in & hit save template.
Now when you view your blog you should be able to see your own custom icon instead of the bog standard orange and white Blogger B icon.
