In this guide, I'll walk you through the straightforward process of changing the favicon for your Blogger website. First, let's grasp what a favicon is and why it holds significance.
A favicon (short for favorite icon) is the small icon displayed in the browser tab just before the page title. It also appears in search engine results. Typically sized at 16 x 16 pixels, it can be found in the browser tab, bookmark bar, browser history, and search results.
On a Blogger website, you'll encounter a default favicon that lacks a professional touch. That's why it's essential to replace it with your own custom favicon.
How to Create a Your Favicon for Your Website:
To generate a Your Favicon, you can utilize online tools such as favicon.io or canva.com. These platforms offer several options: converting an existing logo to a Your Favicon, generating a Your Favicon from text, or using an emoji.
If you don't have a website logo, opt for the second method. Choose the starting letter of your website, select font style, background color, and then download the generated Your Favicon.
Next, extract the downloaded zip file to obtain the Your Favicon in either 512 or 192 pixels. Now, let's proceed with uploading it to your Blogger website.
Adding a Your Favicon to Blogger:
Follow these steps to add a Your Favicon to your Blogger site:
- Log in to your Blogger dashboard.
- Open the settings panel and select the Your Favicon option.
- Click on the "choose file" option and upload your Your Favicon.
- Your Your Favicon is now successfully added to your Blogger website.
You can verify its presence by checking your URL tab.
Troubleshooting: Fixing the "Your Favicon Not Working" Issue:
After uploading the Your Favicon to your Blogger website, it might not display correctly due to various reasons, such as cached website versions or improper meta tags.
To troubleshoot, first try accessing your website in incognito mode. If the Your Favicon still doesn't appear, it could be due to incorrect meta tags. In that case, simply copy and paste the provided code into the head section of your Blogger theme.
<!--[ Favicon ]--> <link expr:href='data:blog.blogspotFaviconUrl' rel='apple-touch-icon' sizes='120x120'/> <link expr:href='data:blog.blogspotFaviconUrl' rel='apple-touch-icon' sizes='152x152'/> <link expr:href='data:blog.blogspotFaviconUrl' rel='icon' type='image/x-icon'/> <link expr:href='data:blog.blogspotFaviconUrl' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
