Adding a "Favicon" to your Blog Address...Something cool, and personalized!

Favicons are little icons that appear at the left of your website address.  For instance, my address is
http://maggieskindercorner.blogspot.com   If you look at the address, there is a small blue MKC icon by it.  Here is a quick way to create a favicon with the standard software on everyone's computer!
To create a favicon:

1.  Create a shape in microsoft word.
2.  Copy it with "PrntScr".
3.  Paste to Paint (a program included with your computer software).
4.  Crop the image and resize to 40x40 pixels (must be a perfect square).
5.  Save the image as a jpg file.
6.  Login to your blog, go to Design, then click on the Favicon "edit" link.
7.  Upload and save the favicon pic you created.
8.  That's it! It will take a while for the browser to recognize and show the favicon.
