want to personalize your own blog? here's what you gotta do:
create a square icon (simple is better since it's so tiny)
resize it to about 16 x 16
post it to photobucket to get the direct link
open design in blogger
go to edit html
find the end of the head section. i pressed F3 to get a search box, then typed <*/head> (don't put an * in there, i just did it so blogger wouldn't think i'm really speaking in html to them)
insert the code before the <*/head>
voila!
here's the code,
blogger couldn't handle saving or posting the real code in here so i improvised by adding DELETE ME in red. make sure you delete the DELETE ME and insert your own direct link into the blue section before you expect the code to work.
<DELETE MElink href='your direct link here' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
*some helpful side notes*
favicons from pics is a website you can upload your picture to and it will automatically resize it for you and rename it favicon.ico
you can't upload .ico files to photobucket though so i used "save as" to make mine a .png
some
tutorials i read said that only .png or .ico files would work for the
favicon, but i also tried doing it with a .jpg and it was just fine.
good luck!
