2. Copy the HTML embed code of your chosen favicon. There are different codes for animated favicons and standard favicons so make sure to copy the one of your choice.
3. Go to your Blogger account Dashboard --> Layout --> Edit HTML --> click “Download Full Template” to save your old template.
4. After saving, back to Edit HTML and find the <head> tag. You can find it usually on the beginning of the code.
For easy look up, press CTRL F and type <head> on the textbox.
5. Paste the HTML code of your favicon AFTER the <head> tag but exactly BEFORE the < b skin > tag.
6. Preview your blog site. If it works, Save it.
