How To Add Animated Favicon In Blogger?

add-faviconFavicon is actually the icon that appears next to your Website URL in the browser address bar. A favicon is usually your blog logo. There are many free services that help to create favicons for you but most of these services use still images. I have used an animated favicon for my blog as you can see in your address bar.  It actually consists of a logo and then my blog title as text. The image and text together makes a more beautiful combination. So lets jump at the tutorial and create an attractive  cute favicon for your blog,

How To Create Animated Favicons?

  10. I mean add share buttons to the right of adsense code. I added one share button, to add the rest accordingly what should i do? Apply CSS to it?

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Ayush

    Oh I remember now...
    Dude simple use this code and tell me if this worked,


    <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="550"><tbody>
    <tr>
    <td valign="top" width="275">ADD ADSENSE CODE HERE</td>

    <td valign="top" width="275">ADD SHARE BUTTONS CODE HERE</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody></table>


    Respectively respect the texts with the codes of adsense and buttons

    ReplyDelete
  12. *Respectively replace the texts "ADD ADSENSE CODE HERE" and "ADD SHARE BUTTONS CODE HERE" with the codes of adsense and buttons

  13. Mohammad, Its just coming in a straight way, I wanna move some widgets to the bottom and all, do you have more ways to customize it? Just see my blog

    ReplyDelete
  14. @ Mustafa: s. Friend this is my idea. when i enter my blog url, it will cover with screen. when i click the screen, it will open and shows my blog content. i like to add this feature.

    Regards
    Hari

    ReplyDelete
  15. @Ayush
    Oh thankfully it worked well. By moving widgets down you mean you want the buttons to align vertically one after another? If yes then simply add <br/> after each share button code like this,

    Digg Code
    <br/>
    Twitter Code
    <br/>
    Facebook Code

    @Hari

    I got you hari and you mean a welcomed screen like those survey types. I will try to implement it in dreamweaver and will try to publish a post on it if I succeeded.

  26. Hey everyone,
    If you are still having problem like I did. Do this, instead of uploading it to picasa, write a blog post and upload the gif that way and then publish it. After you publish it, click on the .gif, then copy and use the link that is given in the url.

    Good luck,

    PS: Thanks Mohammad.
