How to set my blog's icon (favicon)

A favicon (short for Favorite Icon) is a little image displayed in the browser address bar and tabs or in bookmarks, like this in the address bar of this webpage above.

The very first step to installing a favicon is the creation of the small size image. It is not a easy task to crate a icon that you want (unless you use an existing photo and shrink it into small size like mine).

If you just want to use a ready made icon, here is the place to grab : favicons4free.com Just click on one of the categories (examples - animals, flags, birds, etc.) and select a icon that you want, copy the single line of code next to the favicon.

An then go to the template editor and paste the code just after ]]> and just before /head> .

]]>
----->

But the code from favicons4free.com is for HTML and it is not compatible with XHTML. So, you need to put "/" and end it like this "/>".
