Pic.No.1 Here is an example of the old default orange 'Blogger' Favicon, which I replaced with my own personal Favicon
Pic.No.2 First of all, go to your Blogger dashboard and select 'layout'.
Pic.No.3 Then go to the top-left of your layout screen and you will see a area called 'Favicon'. Click on it
Pic.No.4 Upload the image that you would like to use as your Favicon. The trick is that your image must have a .ico (icon) extension; e.g. 'favicon.ico' (if you don't want to create your own, you can download one from this website: Iconspedia). Or, you can create a .ico image from a .jpg or .gif, by using this free tool: iConvert.
The key things to remember are that your icon must be less than 100KB and totally square. The ideal size is 16 pixels by 16 pixels.
I used Photoshop to create my Favicon and make sure it was the right size, but it is equally possible to use Microsoft 'Paint'.
Another thing to note is that you could technically upload a .gif or .png file, but it that means it won't work with Internet Explorer. Which would be a bit shite.
And bizarrely, it takes quite a long time for the Favicon to appear on your Blog. It took a couple of hours before my Favicon showed up, and even then I had to restart my web browser.
Looking forward to seeing your new Favicon dahlink! Let me know when you have changed it so that I can check it out (I am nosey like that).
