How To Add a Favicon to your Blog?

To add a Favicon to your blog you

you have to create one first. You can create a favicon in an icon editor software or generate one online. One useful free program to create it in is IconEdit32. Search for it in Google and download and install it. It can create 16x16 icons and 32x32 icons. The first is very small and so it is better to create one of the latter size.

A Favicon is actually short for "Favourite Icon" and serves as a sort of symbol for the site. You can have a text Favicon made up of the first letters of your site or a symbolic favicon which denotes the subject of your site. It also serves to markout your site in your bookmark list. You can also make an animated favicon and a scrolling favicon which scrolls your blog title one letter at a time.

To make one online a free favicon generator is available at :
