Major browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera supports FAVICON.ico. Favicon.ico doesnt affect your blog ranking or site’s pagerank. But it can help you to brand your website. Makes your site look cool and professional!

How to make FAVICON.ico

You can use any existing .ico files from your computer, just upload it to your web site and call it using:

<link href="http://www.yourblog.com/favicon.ico" rel="SHORTCUT ICON" />

If you are using Wordpress, open your Wordpress Template, edit the Headers, and insert this code.

<link href="http://www.yourblog.com/favicon.ico" rel="SHORTCUT ICON" />

To create a customized FAVICON.ico, you may use these free ONLINE FREE FAVICON.ICO maker.. these sites allows you to convert your existing .GIF or JPEG files into a .ICO file.
