Classic Blogger Favicon Fix!!
I was missing my favicon on Buttermilk Clouds, which happens to be a classic blogger template. I tried several different things and nothing worked until I tried this.
In your template (towards the top) find this:
<$BlogMetaData$>Then place the following code right after it.
<link rel="icon" href="FAVICON URL" type="favicon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="FAVICON URL" type="favicon" />
If you have the new blogger template (formerly known as blogger beta) there is a fix for them, also.
Pretty easy. I really love my favicon, and I'm very upset with Blogger for attempting to do away with it. Shame, shame on you Blogger!

Great blog with an awesome layout; I enjoy it a lot!
Great Share. Keep up the good work.
I think you do get used to the template you use, so it´s not good if they want to take it away. Well done to you for fighting the power which is blogger! :-)

I've always liked your "peace" sign at the end of your posts. It really personalizes each of them.

great thanks. was looking on how to add a Favicon to my site. great work,
I love it when I stumble into neat little blogs like this one. There are so many blogs out there and so many of them are a waste of time. I like the blogs that help you in some way. Like this one! I dont use favicons though.
Thanks for the tip. Its the little things that make your blog special.
I have not noticed any issues with my favicon since I have been with wordpress. I am not saying anything bad about blogger but can't offer any help. I have become a huge fan on favicon and can understand why you would be upset about loosing it. Good luck in getting it resolved.
Buttermilk Clouds is delicious. Do you get your templates from there?!
Thanks for the fix! I always hate when a portion of one of my websites breaks with little explanation, but there's always someone like you that is smarter than me there to fix it. Thanks again!
I really liked reading your blog. Very interesting stuff. Keep up the good work.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
