Creating a favicon in Blogspot Blog (Blogger).

         How to create a favicon for a blog on Blogspot (Blogger)? To create a favicon for a blog on Blogspot (Blogger) before was used to be a little bit more complicated, because we have to hosting the image file (icon) for our favicon somewhere else, then add the script on the blog template that redirects the favicon on that file. Sometimes our favicon still not appear or visible on the blog, because Blogspot (Blogger) itself has a default favicon to display and problem may occur when load the icon from it’s location.

          But now, make a favicon on blogspot (Blogger) is quite easy. Blogspot(Blogger) has been giving the facility on it’s blog to settings favicon that are fairly easy to use. First of course we must have image (icon) that we will make to become our blog favicon. Image (icon) that we use as a favicon should be rectangular / square (16x16). It should have an extension that generally use for favicon file(. Ico), which indicates that the file is an icon file. Using a file with another extension will make the favicon may not visible on some browsers.

          Next, you have to log in to your Blogspot (Blogger) account, open the design menu (click “design” button on your blog’s menu on your dashboard, On your blog layoutyou’ll find favicon item that located at the top left corner of the layout (design) of your blog. Click “edit” to edit the default favicon Blogspot (Blogger). On the Configure favicon menu click “browse” and select the image that you will make to be your favicon (it must already be prepared in advance) Once the upload is complete you just have to save it! And it’s done !. The icon that uses as a favicon will appear at the layout design of the blog. Sometimes our blog favicon does not appear immediately when we try to see or view it. This is possibly caused by the browser cache that still keeps previous favicon. Wait a while, refresh it or delete the browser cache, then the favicon will appear in the browser's blog.
