}

2. Goto iconj.com to make your favicon and get the direct link of your icon as shown.
3. locate the tag “</head>” in your template HTML file and insert the link of favicon just before that
4. Save the template and now view the blog.
It is understood that since the removal of blogspot Nav bar is the violation of Google TOS, the blog may get banned. Do this at your own risk.
Your review was very helpful and I was FINALLY able to get my favicon to show up after following your directions. However, two days later it’s disappeared! Now it’s just the internet icon with the paper in the background. Any suggestions to fix this? Also, my url is http://www.carrieleighanna.blogspot.com.

Repeat the steps once again. Have you changed the theme? For each theme you have to change the favicon
