Did you ever notice that little picture next to the name of the site you are viewing?
It has a techy name - Favicon, which stands for Favorite Icon.
Want to create your own? Here is what I did:
Step 1: Open up PicMonkey and upload an image (in my case, my blog button).
Step 2: Change the size to 16 x 16.
Step 3: Save as a .png file.
You need a site to convert your .png file to a .ico file. When I did a Google search I found this site:
Step 4: Convert to a .ico file
Step 5: Now, head over to the layout in your blogger dashboard. On the top left you will find Favicon.
Step 6: After you click on Edit, you will be brought to this window.
Step 7: Choose your file and save.
Done!! Admire your work:)
Note that immediately after saving your favicon, you may not be able to see it. Check back after a few hours, or alternatively, clear your brower's cache. You can also make sure you did it correctly, by checking out the site where your favicon will be stored:

Just replace "TwoSasters" with the name of your blog.
