This Blog post will explain how to add favicon for your Blog
The main advantage of creating and using favicon is ,it makes it easy to find your blog or site when someone favourited or bookmarked your site/blog among several other sites.
So,ready to create a favicon for your Blog!
All you need is a program to create a favicon in (.ico) format.If you haven't a program to create in .ico format,
No Problem....you can also use png or gif format.If you have Photoshop, or any other programs like that,open it and create a 16*16 image and save it as .png or gif format [look at the below screenshot below]
Or there are so many online sites which can create a Favicon for you,just google 'free online 16*16 icon generator' .They ask you to upload a picture from your desktop,and they convert it into 16*16 .ico file.
You are just a few steps away from creating a beautiful Favicon for your site....
go to your blog dashboard>Layout>Edit Html
and look for this code
add the following code right after it
<link href='http://www.textmarks.com/images/WidgetAlphaIcon-B.gif' rel='shortcut icon'/>
<link href='http://www.textmarks.com/images/WidgetAlphaIcon-B.gif' rel='icon'/>
replace the 'icon file url' ie http://www.textmarks.com/images/WidgetAlphaIcon-B.gif both the times with the url of your icon.
Any .gif .jpg image would do; search google for favicon .ico
That's it! Now you can see a beautiful favicon in your blog.
