Are you trying to find different ways to drive traffic to your art blog?

Are you trying to build an online presence so you can start selling more art online?

There are many strategies that will help you to build brand awareness and adding a favicon is one strategy you should not overlook.

A favicon helps your audience to easily recognize your artist blog and website. New visitors will also build an immediate recognition of your favicon. This is one more way you can build brand awareness.

What is a Favicon

A favicon is a small image that represents your artist blog or website. They are often found in address bars and bookmarks in web browsers.

What is the best type of image for a favicon?

Many web designers recommend using the Microsoft ICO format but most browsers will recognize JPG, PNG, and GIF

WordPress Favicon Size:

  • 16 x 16
  • 32 x 32
  • 48 x 48
  • 64 x 64
  • 128 x 128

 

Why Should Your Artist Blog Have a Favicon

There are more and more artists starting to sell their artwork online every day.

You must build brand awareness and separate yourself from the competition.

Using a Favicon is one way to make it easy for your audience to recognize you.

Many users have multiple tabs open in their browser window. Having several tabs open will hide the titles of the websites in the browser bar. A favicon will help your audience to identify your artist blog and allow them to quickly switch to your site.

 

Creating Favicons

Create an image of your logo, initials or picture. The image should be a square that is 512px. I used PicMonkey to create my favicon.

Here are some other options available for creating favicons.

Photoshop

Favicon.cc

Favicon.cc allows you to design a favicon from scratch or import an image you already have saved on your PC.

Genfavicon.com

Genfavicon is a free online tool that converts any image to a favicon.

Favicon-Generator.org

Favicon-generator converts JPG, PNG, and Gif formats to a .ico file.

 

How to Install Favicon

After you have created your favicon image, log into your WordPress dashboard.
