List of changes done blogger blog

1.Add a logo to the blog

This is a quite simple and straight forward process if you already have a logo. 

*Log in to your blogger account 
*Go to Layout
*Go to Page Element
*Click on the Edit link on the Header
*Choose the logo file by clicking the browse button. 
 

*Under Placement you will have two option to keep the Title and the Description or Just the picture. If you are adding logo it is always better to use the second option "Instead of title and description.
 
2.Add a favicon 

Favicon play a major role when it comes to branding your blog. Tips for new blogger gave me a good guide for adding the favicon. 

Make sure you create a 16x16 pixel icon and upload your icon to picasa web  Album and then follow the instructions
 

3.Divide the blogger header in to two areas.

This is a quite interesting and bit risky part. As you can see you work on the html and css (template). It is always recommend to backup your template before you start splitting your header into two.
