Make a Favicon ( Favorite Icon )

Favicons are the little pictures you see next to your blogger address at the top of the browser. ( see how mine is a purple paw? ) After you insert your code into your blogger template it will also appear in your, and others, "favorites"/Bookmark folder.  Cool!

Find a photo you want to use and go to the following address which will open in another window so you can come back here and read more about it. ICON J . This site will resize it, make it an .ico file AND host it, all for free and no need to join!

Upload your photo.


You will have 2 options, Direct Download or they will host it for you. Copy the Direct Link.



Go to your blogs Dashboard, click on Design, then click on Edit HTML.

( Download your template. You should ALWAYS do this before making any changes. )

Do a search for the following: < /head >

Insert the direct link code directly above the < /head >


Click preview to see what you just made. If you like it click save, and that's it!

  3. Cool - I'll have to try that later.

    email me at indefatigable at shaw dot ca & i'll tell all about the park. I'm trying to keep it moderately secret b/e it's one of the few places several of us with snarky rude dogs can go for offleash romps. If it gets popular, we'll be even more housebound.... :-)
