Changing Logo and Favicon in Blogger

Blogger, the free blogging platform from Google, offers a simple way to create and customize blogs. One of the ways to make your blog stand out is by personalizing it with a unique logo and favicon (favorite icon). In this post, we'll walk you through the process of changing the logo and favicon in Blogger.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following:

  1. A logo image file, preferably in PNG or JPG format.
  2. A favicon image file, usually a small square icon, also in PNG or JPG format.
  3. Access to your Blogger account and its associated Google Account.

Changing the Logo

  1. Log into your Blogger account at https://www.blogger.com/
  2. Go to Dashboard > Layout.
  3. Find the Header widget and click on the pencil icon to edit it.
  4. In the Content tab, delete any existing code in the content area and paste your logo image tag. For instance, if your logo file is named "mylogo.png", the tag would look like:
<img src="'https://www.example.com/images/mylogo.png'' alt='My Logo'>

Replace https://www.example.com/images/mylogo.png with your logo file URL or local path. Don't forget to update the 'alt' attribute with a descriptive text for your logo. 5. Save and apply the changes.

Changing the Favicon

  1. Log into your Google Search Console (previously Webmaster Tools) at https://search.google.com/search-console.
  2. Select your blog property and click on Appearance > Site title & logo > Add or edit.
  3. Upload your favicon file and save the changes. It may take some time for the new favicon to appear in browsers.

Wrapping Up

By updating your logo and favicon, you've added a personal touch to your Blogger blog, enhancing its visual appeal and making it more recognizable. Happy customizing!
