I was asked how it got the cross up there in the address bar and i'll just explain the process here so if you ever wanted to you also can.
Now you can make a favicon if you're creative or you can get one that is already made like me. If you want to try your hands on making a favicon there's a good tutorial here and here.
If you want to get one that already made then there are a lot of places to get them. Here, here, here, flags favicon, and i got mine here. Of course there are lots of other places you can find favicons, these are just a few.
How to add a favicon to your blogger
I'm assuming that you get the favicon online, some are saved as .gifs all you do is save the image to your computer and rename it with a .ico extension otherwise no need to rename it. Now comes where you will save the image so you can link to it.
Most photo hosting sites dont accept .ico images. I use photobucket and they dont, i'm not sure about the others but there's an easy way around this. If you have a yahoo id, just go to geocities.yahoo.com, login with your yahoo id, click on manage, and then open file manager. It should look something like this
Then click on upload files and add the .ico image to yahoo. You can see mine there.
Once the image is uploaded, click view and copy the link location. It should be something like this: http://www.geocities.com/YourUsername/TheFileName.ico. That link is very important so get it right.
Now open your blogger and go to edit html. Be careful here because you can alter the way your blog appears if you're not careful. Go to the section and add the link to the favicon. For example:
xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
<head>
<href="'http://www.geocities.com/YourUsername/TheFileName.ico'" rel="'shortcut" type="'image/x-icon'/">
<data="'blog'" name="'all-head-content'/">
Thats all there is to it. If you encounter any problems or have any questions or something you'll like to add just let me know :-)
