🧠 What is a Favicon?
A favicon is the small icon you see next to your website’s name in the browser tab. It’s a branding element that adds a professional touch to your blog and helps users recognize your site quickly.
🛠️ How to Create a Custom Favicon – Step-by-Step
✅ Step 1: Use a Free Favicon Generator
Go to a free favicon maker like favicon.io or RealFaviconGenerator. You can either:
- Upload your logo or icon
- Generate text-based favicon
- Download the favicon (.ico or .png file)
✅ Step 2: Add the Favicon in Blogger
In your Blogger dashboard:
- Go to “Layout”
- At the top-left, click on “Favicon”
- Click “Edit”, then upload your .ico or .png file
- Click “Save” and then “Save arrangement”
💡 Tips for Designing a Perfect Favicon
- Use a transparent background
- Keep it simple and square (e.g., 48x48 px or 64x64 px)
- Avoid text—icons work better at tiny sizes
- Make sure it reflects your blog’s niche or identity
🧼 How to Remove or Change a Favicon Later
If you want to update your favicon:
- Go to Layout > Favicon > Edit
- Click “Remove” and then upload a new one
- Save changes and refresh the site
