Getting rid of Blogger's Favicon

Have you noticed the change in this blog’s favicon? The old favicon of Blogger, which is the red letter “B”, is replaced with a cute “S” that stands for Sasha’s Corner, of course. *lol

Anyway, here are the steps on how you can replace Blogger’s favicon into one that you like:

1. Go to MpP. In this web site, you can find a lot of graphics that you can use as favicon.

2. If you already chose one, go to FavIcon From Pics. Convert the graphic of your choice into a favicon.

3. Then, open your free photo hosting account, upload the favicon there.

4. Open your Blogger account. Go to Layout – Edit HTML. Then look for the title tag. You can find this in the head tag.

5. After the title tag code, add the following codes:

Replace the http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico with the URL of the favicon you uploaded. Look at the screenshot of the Layout-Edit HTML section of my blog:

After doing everything stated above, Save.

That’s it! Load your blog and check your tab if the favicon will appear. Mine did :)

Happy Tuesday and have a productive day :)

    Hello there! Thank you for the very useful information. It is a great help. I am just trying to make my own icon first before I finally edit. I am also thinking of changing my template. In relation to that, if it is not too much, could you teach me how to place that scroll down blog roll? I searched all over but I cannot find it. Thanks again and have a nice day!
