Favicons for Blogger

A favicon is exactly a favorite icon,a 16x16 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage.Thus a web designer can create such an icon and incorporate into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it.

Web Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's Address bar and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title.

For creating a Favicon a favicon generator is needed. If you don’t have one don’t be upset, as there is an alternative too. If you have Paint, Photoshop or any other photo editing software, then open it. Make a new image with a square resolution say 50 x 50 or 75 x 75.

Then, to make a perfect favicon, you can type letters of your website URL or some image designs. For example Google favicon has letter G in designed way. Then you can make some cool graphic effects with Photoshop . Remember your letters should be covering whole of the square resolution so that the icon is clearly visible.

Now that you have made an image. Now paste the code given below where instead of yourwebsitename type ur web space provider address (include the path of the favicon file)..

Just type the below code within "<" and ">" tags..

link href='http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon' /

link href='http://yourwebsitename.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/x-icon' /

link href='http://yourwebsitename.com/favicon.ico' rel='shortcut icon' /

The favicon.ico is the favorite icon file which is being used in the website. For using the favicon in the website the file must be first saved in web space provider and then add the link to the website or even in other blogging tools...
