This is my newest and favourite blog trick! Check out my new favicon!
1. Design it!
Favicons are 16 x 16 pixels. So be sure to design one that has square proportions so it can easily be resized if you don't design it to be that small. You can use pictures, graphics, symbols or anything that represents your site. Remember, you want to brand your blog, so stick with the same colour schemes that are in your blog!
2. Convert it!
In order to appear in the URL or title page area, your favicon needs to be saved as a .ico file. Don't panic! Check out this site: http://www.favicon.cc/ ! You can upload your designs (and it resizes them!!), or create your own from scratch. It also allows you to make the background of your favicons transparent (so you don't see any white around the image), AND it shows a live preview of what it would look like in your browser! Once you are finished, it saves your image as a .ico file. It's great!
3. Host it!
As always, you need to have a webspace that will host your .ico file. Once you have uploaded it to your provider, be sure to copy the URL of it!
4. Blog it!
You're almost all finished! To put your favicon on blogger, all you have to do is go into Layout then Edit HTML. Underneath the
tag (it's a few lines down from the top) copy this code:
and paste it, making sure to change YOURFAVICONLOCATION to yours. Click Save and congratulations, you've just created your very own favicon! To see how to add the html code into Blogger, click the thumbnail below for a larger view.
To help you get started I have made a blue flower favicon
just for you! Simply paste the entire code in the box underneath your
tag!

If you've ever been to Shabby Blogs (where my beautiful background is from), you'd notice their lovely use of frames and flowers in their header designs. I wanted to try my hand at that layering technique and voila: My Shabby Inspired Header, free for you to use and customize! Don't forget to click on the thumbnail and view the large size in order to save it!
Here's a few blank headers that you can use and customize! You'll notice high quality cartoon graphics are especially popular for women's blogs. Important: Click on the thumbnails to view the large size and then save the images to your computer (if you save the thumbnails, they will remain a saved thumbnail). Enjoy!

Hello bloggers! I must say, I am deeply honored to read all your nice comments and blog posts about me! I have read each one and have personally visited all your blogs...keep up the great work! Many of you are really using the secrets you found here and are becoming blogging pros :) . I'd like to extend an open invitation for your feedback...Is there anything you'd like me to write about? Are you itching to know how to do something? I'll try my best to answer all your questions and post the stuff you want! Oh, and don't forget to check out the Blog Fairy, too! The Blog Fairy is already granting three special people their wishes...YOU can be one of them as well!
In the next few days I will be making TONS of more blogging stuff that will be absolutely free for you to use. For now, here's a lovely Starry Sea Post Divider to add to your blogs! If you forget how to put them on your blog, follow the instructions here. Oh and one more thing. Here's a tip that goes a long way. If you post a lot of pictures on your blog, consider having a background that has a white middle...that way, you won't get edges around your photos and the white backgrounds most pictures have will blend in. Happy blogging!

Here's my personal tag collection just for you!
I will be making much more in the future, so stay tuned. But for now, you can download all these lovely tags here.
Instructions for download
1. After you've clicked here, a file download dialogue box appears. Click Save, and choose your save location (desktop is a good choice).
2. Once the file has finished downloading, click on the zipped "TinasTag" file (looks like a stack of books) and open it (you will need a program that unzips .rar files, like WinRAR).
3. Select both folders (highlight or right-click and select all) and press the Extract To button. Press Ok. And that's it! You now can use my Tags to jazz up your blog! Simply put them on blogger the same way you insert a picture :)
