Changing Blogger Favicon


Bored of the default Blogger Favicon? 


Want to change it? Here You go!

Favicon is an abbreviation of “favorite icon”. It is displayed at the start of address bar in most of the browsers. It is basically a small image, which generally represents the logo of a site or company. If you have a look at the bookmarks in your browser, you would see the favicon against each saved link. It also helps to identify the specific link out of the huge list of bookmarks. So why not change it?

Note: Click on images to enlarge them.

Update: Before you proceed to any of these steps... Check out this screenshot! 











P.S. It's self-explanatory!





Step 1

Go to your Blogger Dashboard Design


Step 2

Go to Edit HTML Edit Template.



Step 3

Search for "< / head >" tag in the content.



Step 4

Let us host the required favicon. 

The Favicon can be hosted through any file hosting service.

Note: The size of the favicon should be 16 x 16.

Example: My3gb, 110mb, zumodrive, rapidsharehotfile,etc. (Choose as convenient)



After hosting, copy the URL of the hosted favicon.


Can't find a good favicon? Convert your favorite image into a favicon here or find 18000+ animated & cool favicons here


Step 5

After you have successfully hosted the favicon and have obtained the URL, get the final code here by just entering the image URL.

Copy the final code and paste it just above the tag that we had located earlier.


Step 6

Save the template. You are done! :D 


View your blog to check if everything was successful. If the favicon hasn't changed, check it through another browser.


The result may take some time because of some delays brought by the browser you are using. I have tried once using Google Chrome and it didn't changed the favicon immediately.
