Dear Al:I have a problem. I am jealous. How did you get the little picture up by your url of your blog? I want a picture by mine when some clicks on my blog.
Thanks! -- Linda, http://beadinggalinms.blogspot.com
Dear Linda:
I said hockus pockus, and like magic, it appeared! Weird huh?
What I did was create an jpeg icon about 16x16
, then I uploaded the jpeg icon to a new post, and copied it's URL: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1787/2191/1600/dralicon.jpg You don't have to publish the post, because once you upload an image, it's in your blogger account if you use it or not.I then pasted my jpeg icons URL into this code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1787/2191/1600/dralicon.jpg" />
then I added the code to my blogs template underneath the <head> tag
Published the template, and that's it!
Note: Readers can't see the icon next to the URL in the address bar if they're using the Internet Explorer. So far I know it works for Firefox, but you might be able to see the icon if you also use Opera, or Safari, but I'm not sure.

FYI: it does show up in Opera.
Cool! Thanks for sharing with me. Saw you got skipped over at Michele's so I thought I would stop by.
Who uses IE anyway? That's SO 1995.
I should try this one out...thanks!
Ooh... that saves me the trouble of having to google how to do that. Thanks, Al, you're a gem! ;)
And yes, I know you were kidding about Chuck. I already mentioned countless times that all good men are taken. And Chuck's still single??? *ponders* Hmm...
Unrelated to the topic I know, but Happy Father's Day Al.
i use IE7 at work. It's just like Firefox!
thanks, al....I did it, and it worked!
