Get Customized Favicon For Your Blogger Blog

The favicon or also called 'Favorite icon" is the small picture with pixel size 16×16 pixels displays on left of the address bar of browser when you open a website. Usually, it is in ico format because all major browsers support ico format. If you have Blogspot blogs, you can change the default favicon displayed on your blogs. It gives a unique look for your blog and it is not hard to upload it on your blogger blog. While choosing a "Favorite icon" for your blog, make sure it is unique and different from others. It is one way to show your readers your blog is unique and different from other blogs. This tutorial explains how to upload favicon for your blogger blog.
