Fix Missing Favicon in Blogger

One day, I noticed that the favicon for my Blogger blogs suddenly reverted to the default "B" icon. After doing a bit of research, I found out the reason for this.

Apparently, this bit of code was already added to the 'all-head-content' includable of Blogger:

<link href='http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>

So, if you want your own favicon (favorite icon) to show up instead of the Blogger icon, you have to do the following steps:

*Don't forget to back up your template BEFORE attempting to make changes to it.

1. Login to you Blogger account and then go to Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML

2. Find (Ctrl-F) and Cut (Ctrl-X) the line of code referring to your customized favicon. This is how the code may look like:

<link href='http://URL-TO-IMAGE-HERE.png' rel='shortcut icon' />

3. Find (Ctrl-F) the closing head tag of your template:

</head>

4. Paste (Ctrl-V) the line from #2 just BEFORE the closing head tag

.

.

.

<link href='http://URL-TO-IMAGE-HERE.png' rel='shortcut icon' />

</head>

5. Save the template and view your blog. You should be able to immediately see your own favicon instead of the default Blogger icon (when using Firefox).

Note: By adding this line at the end of the head section assures you that your favicon 'overwrites' whatever Blogger has set in the includable content.

If you have favicon problems, ask me here and I will try to help you out.

dNeero paid me

I have been paid by dNeero for the first time. (Click on the image to enlarge.)

I joined this social network two months ago. And last week, I received over $20 from them. This was earned just by joining conversations. If a conversation is available, you just have to answer a few questions about the topic. And that's it. You can also get to earn extra cash if you post the widget in your blog and it reaches a certain number of impressions (or hits).

This is how the widget looks like. This conversation is called "Yes, we did! -- Editorial Comments."

If you aren't a part of dNeero yet and wish to earn a little cash, it's not too late to join.
