Hey everyone, it's been several weeks since I wrote a post on this blog. Well, it was really a frustrating time period for this blog as well as me. But not to worry I'm back again. Let's take a cool breathe and get started rapidly. I can't wait.
In the previous article I helped you removing the 'Powered by Blogger' attribution, which resulted in overwhelming positive feedback. So in this week we'll be going another step ahead customizing your blog awesomely. In this article I'm gonna help you out to change or replace the favicon of your blogger blog and add a custom one. It's as important as removing the navigation bar. So let's dive in.
What's a favicon?
A favicon is the tiny logo kind of thing that you see at the top of browser window (i.e. the title bar), when you open any webpage. For instance watch out the snap below.
Why change it?
In case of new blogs, blogger keeps it's default favicon. This looks a little unprofessional and your blog readers may neglect your blog even if you have spectacular content! So you better use your own custom favicon.
