How to Create a Favicon
I’m not tech savvy and I don’t have the cashflow to be paying other people who are, to make my website look pretty, therefore I have to complete a lot of online research to get the job done.
What Is a Favicon?
According to Wikipedia, the word, favicon, is short for favorite icon.
It is a file containing one or more small icons, most commonly 16×16 pixels, associated with a particular Web site or Web page. A web designer or blogger can create such an icon and install it into a Web site (or Web page) by several means, and graphical web browsers will then make use of it.
Create a favicon of your very own with this simple process using Photoshop or Paint. The how to create a favicon tutorial even includes instructions on how to upload the graphic to your Blogger and WordPress blogs!

I noticed them when I first started reading blogs a few years ago and always said I WILL have one of those when I start my blog. I am proud to say that when I went “live” about 6 weeks ago I had my very own Favicon and it wasn’t too hard to do either. Thanks for all your great information you give us. I know I definitely learn a lot from y’all.
