Change your default favicon.ico in Blogger

To get rid of the default Blogger favicon you need to do the following five steps.

  1. Find a photo or artwork to use for the image.
  2. Use an image editor to crop the image to the section that is to be viewed as the favicon.ico in the shape of a square not a rectangle.  The final output is going to be cloase to 30px by 30px.
  3. Upload the new cropped image to a www.html-kit.com/favicon/ to create the actual favicon.ico file that is to be used.
  4. Upload the new favicon.ico file to a shared or public location on the internet.
  5. Now edit the Blogger HTML template  to include the new favicon.ico image location to your blog.  From your Blogger dashboard click on Layout—> Edit HTML.
    1. Right above the </head> tag type the link code similar to below:


           <link href='”URL Link for favicon.ico' rel='shortcut icon'/>
        </head>
