"A favicon (short for "favorites icon" and also known as a page icon), is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage that is displayed in the browser address bar next to a site's URL"Now lets make it straight to the point and make it easier for you.
Important Note: Make sure you save your template for backup and be safe..you can do that by login to Dashboard of your blog and go to Edit Html subtab under the Template tab and see this: Before editing your template, you may want to save a copy of it . Download Full Template.

Good post. Googlepages is a great place to host a favicon for a site. Fast servers.
A site I like to use to create my favicons is http://www.freefavicon.com/
They offer some free favicons as well.
Useful tips you've got here. Alot of bloggers do not see the benefits from having a personalized favicon. I think having your own favicon is not enough. It should be unique and exclusive to your site so I wouldn't suggest using available favicons. I suggest creating one for yourself.
Useful post. Good luck to your blogging!
