Add new favicon to blogspot.

A "favorite icon" or favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) is a 16x16 pixels icon that appears next to a website's URL in the address bar of a web browser. If you are using a browser that supports tabbed browsing, the favicon will also appear next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface. If you look at the top of this page, at the left hand corner of the address bar, you will see a small graphic of a portion of a fake red-yellow-black "for Dummies" book cover (This has changed to a rare photo of myself laughing). That is the favicon for this blog. If you are using FireFox or Opera, you will also see that icon in the tab. If yours is a personal blog, a good icon will be your personal photo.

Adding a favicon to your blog is a good way to distinguish your blog from the millions of other blogs. To add a favicon, you need to generate a .ico format file, a place to host the file and add 2 link elements in the section of your template. To generate the .ico file and to host it, you can go to MyFavatar. You need to have ready a roughly square graphic saved to your hard disk.
