How to change your Blogger blog's Default icon

Posted by anonymous in , , on Friday, July 9, 2010


It's simple, just follow these simple steps below!
First, choose a.png file (of any size) that you deem nice enough to put as a blog icon.
Then, upload the.png tohttp://html-kit.com/favicon/-/selpic-2/ and download the resulting file in.ico
format.
After downloading the.ico file to your computer, upload it tohttp://picpanda.com/ or
http://imageboo.com/, and obtain a direct link for the file after it is uploaded into the website's storage.
Log into your Blogger account and select: Dashboard>Layout>Edit HTML.
You will see a window with all the HTML mumble-jumbles you do not understand. Fret not, you only need
to find the code right at the top, that should look like this:
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*
After the line of code:
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
on the next line, type:
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
Make sure not to simply copy this exactly, but actually put your icon’s URL in, instead of the words ‘URL
of your icon’
The whole thing will look like this:

<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*
Here is a sample of the code:
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<link href='http://www.picpanda.com/images/123456789abcdefg.ico' rel='shortcut icon'
type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*
Click to save your new template and you should see the new icon next to your blog's address!
PS: If the above codes do not work, try inserting this code instead:
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
