If you are not sure what a favicon is, it’s that little orange B that is on the top of the tab on your blog (blogger). You can change this you know! WordPress is just as easy.
I have added the code below for you. So chose a colour and I will show you how to put it into your blog.

Under each coloured favicon is a code.
To add this to your blog follow the steps:
1. Log in to the dashboard of your blog.
2. Click DESIGN
3. Click HTML
4. Find < / head > (I normally click CTRL F and type in < / head > which will easily locate this part for you)
5. Directly ABOVE < / head > paste in the code.
6. Save template and view your blog
If you run in to trouble email me.
If you are really clever you can make your own favicon! Make one in photoshop/paint/picnik and save it in to your photobucket account.
Replace this code below in red (RED AREA ONLY!) with your own image link.
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’shortcut icon’/>
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’shortcut icon’ type=’image/vnd.microsoft.icon’/>
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’icon’/>
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’icon’ type=’image/vnd.microsoft.icon’/>
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’shortcut icon’ type=’image/vnd.microsoft.icon’/>
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’icon’/>
<link href=’http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx357/k_chambers/bconblue.jpg‘ rel=’icon’ type=’image/vnd.microsoft.icon’/>
Then pop that into your blog as above .
NOTE: It won’t change the orange in your nav bar if you have one. Just tabs/bookmarks/shortcut icon/bookmark icon. Refresh your page a couple of times before it comes up. If it doesn’t work are you using Explorer? Switch to another browser to view it.
With WordPress, just add the code above in to a HTML/TEXT WIDGET and done!
If you want me to make you one and install it also email me and I’ll do it all for $30.
Leave me a comment if you attempt this as I would love to pop over and have a look to see how you went!
