How to add a Blogger Favicon To Your Site ( Step - by - Step )
Adding a favicon to your Blogger site is a great way to give it a professional and polished look. A favicon is a small icon that appears in the browser's address bar or tab when someone visits your blog. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a favicon to your Blogger site:
Step 1: Prepare Your Favicon Image
Before you can add a favicon to your Blogger site, you need to create a small square image that will serve as your favicon. It's recommended to use an image with dimensions of 16x16 pixels or 32x32 pixels. You can create this image using graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or even online favicon generators.
Step 2: Save the Favicon Image
Save your favicon image to your computer in a format like .ico, .png, or .jpg. Make sure you remember the location where you saved it.
Step 3: Log In to Your Blogger Account
Go to the Blogger website (blogger.com) and log in to your Blogger account using your Google account credentials.
Step 4: Access the Blogger Dashboard
Once logged in, you will be taken to your Blogger dashboard, where you can manage your blogs.
Step 5: Select Your Blog
If you have multiple blogs, click on the blog you want to add the favicon to from the list of your blogs on the dashboard. If you only have one blog, it will be automatically selected.
Step 6: Go to the Theme Settings
In the left sidebar of your Blogger dashboard, click on "Theme." This will take you to the theme customization page.
Step 7: Edit HTML
On the theme customization page, you'll see a "Customize" button and an "Edit HTML" link. Click on the "Edit HTML" link.
Step 8: Locate the <head> Section
In the HTML editor, you'll see the code for your blog's template. Look for the `<head>` section in the code. It should look something like this:
```html
<head>
<!-- Other meta tags and elements may be present here -->
</head>
```
Step 9: Add the Favicon Code
Insert the following code just below the `<head>` tag. Replace `"YOUR_FAVICON_URL"` with the URL of the favicon image you saved in Step 2. You can upload your favicon image to a hosting service, such as Imgur or Dropbox, and use the direct image URL.
```html
<link rel="icon" href="YOUR_FAVICON_URL" type="image/x-icon">
```
For example:
```html
<link rel="icon" href="https://www.example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
```
Step 10: Save and Preview
After adding the code, click the "Save" button in the HTML editor. You can then click "Preview" to see how your favicon looks in the browser tab.
Step 11: Publish the Changes
If you are satisfied with how your favicon appears in the preview, click the "Publish" button to make the changes live on your blog.
Step 12: Check Your Blog
Visit your blog in a web browser, and you should see your new favicon displayed in the browser tab or address bar.
That's it! You've successfully added a favicon to your Blogger site. Your blog will now have a distinctive icon that helps it stand out when visitors open it in their browsers.
