adding a favicon image to the navigation bar of your website or blog
By Aggy Wanda of independent
Adding a favicon to your blog requires knowing a favicon is an abbreviation for website icon(oh!) and also understanding it makes your address much cuter. Think of it as a petit image signature that follows your website everywhere its pages are opened. Where? Ah yes in order to imagine where this icon appears once you decide to implement it, just look at the address or menu bar on top of your page, tab and on the bookmark listing for it. Take any website as an example an it is most probable they use a distinctive favicon that might even be flash animated for effect. This little image catches the eye of potential readers, buyers or just click-through visitors of your site. I made mine as 3 bars of different colors; simple yet the effect of seeing that small frame beside the blog's title is mesmerizing to me.
This is my favicon humble self-made graphic. However uploading a .ico file to blogspot for example is not that easy because it is not an image file, so it is required to host it at a given url to then be able to specify the location and insert in the right place of your template's html. FIRST
Create your favicon or choose an image you want. You can make your own at favicon from pics only by uploading the image you choose. They convert it into a .ico file which is the protocol for that certain feature.
SECOND
Get your own space on the web to upload files, for example filezilla, zshare, and or ripway, which by the way is a free web hosting service.
THIRD
Upload your file to the service of your pick
FOURTH
Place the code specified here between the head tags of your template >head<>/head< >link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico" /<
>link rel="icon" href="http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico" /< (click on the image accompanying this intel to view an example) FIFTH
Replace "http://myfavicon.com/favicon.ico" with the url of where you hosted your image and save your template changes please:BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING IN YOUR TEMPLATE SAVE A COPY OF IT favicon might take some time before appearing. In my case though I just added it 5 minutes before posting this and it appeared right away. Oh and apparently the suckers have a mind of their own becasue they refused to appear on my other blog but I am working to fix that.
