Favicon (Favorites Icon) is the small picture (usually 16px x 16px in
size) you see beside some some site's name in your browser's address
bar.
Having your own favicon with a nice graphical reminder of your site beside is a good way to get visitors attention again. Now Blogger users can add a custom favicon for their blogs from the Design > Page Elements tab, by clicking on the Edit link on the "Favicon" element above the navbar element.

4. Now you should see your own favicon instead of blogger's default favicon.
Don't worry if it won't appear immediately. It may take some time until your new favicon will show in your Browser's tab or window.
