Finally Blogger has an option to add a custom favicon for our blog, with which you can replace the existing Blogger favicon with your own. Previously this option was not available, and to add a favicon an HTML script had to be added before the </head> tag of our template, which did not replace the Blogger's favicon. Now you can easily upload a custom favicon of your choice from your Blogger dashboard. [Note: This option is currently only available for Blogger in draft users].
If you're not using Blogger draft then simply enter draft.blogger.com in your browser's address bar and log in into Blogger.
If you're not using Blogger draft then simply enter draft.blogger.com in your browser's address bar and log in into Blogger.
What is a Favicon ?
A favicon is a small icon also known as a website icon or shortcut icon, which is 16x16 pixels in size, and appears in the browser's address bar next to the website url. A favicon is usually a .ico image.
How to add custom Favicon to Blogger ?
- Log in to draft.blogger.com.
- Go to > Design > Page Elements > favicon.
- Click edit favicon and upload a .ico image.(Maximum file Size of 10KB is allowed.)
It is recommended that you use this method to upload a favicon and replace the previous method which involved adding a HTML script. If your image size is big you can use Yahoo Smush It to reduce your image size.
Your uploaded favicon can be viewed at www.yourblog.blogspot.com/favicon.ico
