Page icon or Favorite Icon, oftenly only written FaveIcon, is a small picture on address bar or tab bar. See picture below.
All 1, 2 and 3 icon on picture above is FaveIcon. Number 1 is default blogger FaveIcon while number 2 and 3 are custom FaveIcon. If you are bored with default blogger FaveIcon, although I think it's a very good icon, you can make your own FaveIcon. It's needed to make your blog more associated with you (personal).
Follow these steps to make your FaveIcon:
1. Create an image using Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw or any image creation software. The image should be 16x16 pixels. Save it as .gif or .png.
2. Upload your image to an online storage. For online storage, my favorite is google pages. Read here how to create a google pages account.
3. Go to your blogger account - Layout - Edit HTML. Find this code (use ctrl+f):
4. Add this code right below it:
5. Save template. Preview first if you want to make sure.
Now you have your own FaveIcon. Change it anytime it bores you.

One important thing but not yet provided by blogger to page elements/widgets list is search function. This widget is available on wordpress but not on blogger.
If you use a custom template, this is not a problem since many custom templates has already provided search function button. Like the one this blog is using (see top-right corner). But if you are using default template from blogger, then this is a problem since search function is not available.
Off course you can find this type of widget over the net but if you don't have time, why not make one yourself? If you familiar with coding, you can insert code to HTML layout. I'm not familiar with coding so I'll provide simple code to add to your widget without even touching your HTML layout.
Simply put this code to your 'text' or 'HTML/JavaScript' page element:
This search function will search all posts within 'word' you enter. Try it here:Type and Hit Enter
Keep happy blogging and have a nice day.
