Here's the Lowdown: In the Quick Blogcast Manage Blog section, you can add a favicon to your site.

A favicon (or favorites icon) is an icon that is associated with a particular Web page or site. When a visitor bookmarks your site, the favicon will display next to the name of your Web page in their favorites list. In many browsers, your favicon will display before the url in the address bar. This helps a site stand out in a list of favorites and creates a customized appearance in the visitor's browser. Favicons are a popular way to draw attention to, and promote a Web site. Favicons are often corporate logos or images.

NOTE: Your favicon must be 16x16 pixels in size. Most browsers support .jpg, .gif. and .png files. However, to function properly in Internet Explorer, favicons must be rendered as .ico files.

  4. From the Manage Blog menu, select Settings.
