Hi, Friends, many of us have heard about Favicons, and most of them must use them on their website/blog…..but some of them must think, what is a Favicon? How to create and use it?
What is a Favicon?
A favicon is a small icon, image, or some animated graphics that one can see on the left side of the browser bar of a website’s name. It is usually associated with the website URL, as you can see down here.
So you can see the favicon that I have used in my blog and which appears before the title of my blog in the browser bar.
It consists of a logo and then my blog title as text. The image and text together make a more beautiful combination.
How to create and add an animated Favicon to a blog?
As you can see, I have not used an animated favicon, but it is optional to use an animated favicon or simply a static favicon, so let’s start.
1. Go to Favicon Generator.
2. When you see the favicon generator webpage, just scroll down and see the options as shown below.
3. Click the button “choose file” and browse for the picture, image, or what you want. Also, add your blog title (optional)..
4. Click the button” Generate Favicon”.
The Browser will show you another page, again, scroll down it. Now you can see your desired picture, image as an icon. (Click the image below and see it in large size)
5. Right-click on your desired icon, and choose to save or save as.
6. Now upload the image to your WordPress directory or any other image hosting site (like Picasa). and get the image URL.
7. If you are using WordPress, then go to appearance > Editor > Header.php and save the following line just after <head> but before </head>, but be sure to change the “Add Your Favicon Link here ” with your image URL.
<link href=’Add Your Favicon link here’ rel=’icon’ type=’image/gif’/>
If you are using a blogger account, then. Go to Blogger > Design > Edit HTML and Search For <b:skin> and just above it paste the code mentioned above.
Do try to add a favicon to your site to make it a brand.
Waiting for your response.
