As I was going through my RSS feed recently, I came across a FABULOUS tip from Melissa over at 320*Sycamore. See that little doodad to the left of the URL address in the URL bar (it might look like a piece of paper on my blog, or the Blogger "B" on others)? That's called a Favicon, and you can personalize it!
Goodness knows I love to personalize anything I can!

Here's what you do:
Go to your Blogger Dashboard.
Click on Designs, and look for this:
As you can see, I borrowed this image from Melissa's awesome blog.
Upload the picture you want to use, click Save, and voila!
I don't know what the requirements of the picture has to be, though. I first tried to upload a picture of myself, and that didn't work out. I suspected it would be too big a file, but I wanted to play with it. I next tried an "A" avatar a friend made for me, but that doesn't appear to have worked, either. I'm not quite sure what to try next. The blogger "B" is gone, so I know the instructions work, but the "A" isn't showing, so I must have the wrong kind of file or something. I'm going to keep working on it.
If you personalize your favicon, let me know! I'd love to check it out!
Update: It's working now! Score!
