Favicon for your blog: Test

Here is the photo (in .ico format) of Enviroman, meant for the Favicon for Enviroman Says but don't know if photo in ico format can be uploaded:

Update: ico format cannot be uploaded from your photo. Looks like the site

I want to test for Favicon for my environmental blog Enviroman Says cannot be used unless, I think, you host your own blog. The site only regenerate an ico format photo from your jpg gif and png formats and down download it into your computer. Attempts to upload it to both a Blogger post as well as Photobucket failed.

According to

http://www.genfavicon.com/

Once you have created your favicon.ico file, you are supposed to upload it to the root directory of your website and put the following code in the header of your HTML page:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

Now for Blogger or the free Wordpress blogging services, you have no access to the server, which means you have no access to the root directory. I have never hosted my own blog before, though I am now attempting to use custom domains for New Blogger (to be hosted for free by Blogger), so I have no practical experience to draw from to give you accurate information.

If anyone has any experience with the above and have some useful information, please contact me at bloggerfordummies at gmail dot com, replacing at with @ and dot with . and get rid of the space, or leave a comment. If the information you give is useful for my blog readers, I will link to your site and this will increase your link popularity and PageRank, very important for SEO (Search Engine Optimization),

Test stop here.

Favicon for your Blogger Beta blog

After a question from someone on a forum, I decided to test out the method stated at Favicon for your Blogger blog (close new window to get back to this page) to see if it also works for Blogger Beta. Well, I did exactly as instructed in that post, and the Favicon is there now for everyone to see. The only exception will be those using IE6 who will not be able to see the Favicon.

Update 12 March 2007: The favicon can be seen in the address bar in Internet Explorer 7.

Note: The favicon is a bit faint because I have chose a bar chart (representing testing) for the favicon, and the image is mostly white except for a number of red bars.
